49 Did POTUS sign the congressional funding bill this week? Could that be the shutdown needed for everything to break? (wearethene.ws) posted 4 years ago by psuedopilsner 4 years ago by psuedopilsner +49 / -0 4 comments share 4 comments share save hide report block hide replies
So maybe that's it.
POTUS shuts down the gov because he didn't sign the spending bill.
Pence can't sign it because he's just temp-POTUS.
Gov stays shut down so arrests can be made- Congress CAN be arrested on BREAK.
But we are gonna need ACB confirmed before this goes down.
If Congress is not in session, the President can appoint a temporary or interim Justice, who will sit through the next Congress (ie from now until January 2023). No hoops, no hearings, no approvals. Completely bypasses the Legislative branch.
