Congress clock management leads to the Trump’s Bill ” Business ”

Football and basketball coaches are clock management experts.

Legislators too.

The coaches are able to burn or save just enough time on the clock to perform a game – or prevent the other team from doing so.

Congress clock management is very different.

Trump 3.3 T $ Megabill takes a record for the room for the longest vote in history

Whatever the legislators say they will do – this will always take a deep time of time to do so.

This is why the temporal policy of the adoption of the “great and beautiful bill” of President Donald Trump has submerged all those who have been working on Capitol Hill in recent weeks.

This goes from the legislators themselves to aid, journalists, Capitol guards and the police of the American Capitol.

Namely:

The Republicans of Congress have caused variations in executives and iterations of the big and beautiful bill since February. But things finally became serious when the house adopted its official version of the package on May 22, beating the goal of the four -day Memorial Day.

There was a chatter that the Senate would tackle the room for the week of June 9. Then it fell at the week of June 15. The idea was that the Senate would deal with its version of the bill this week and would then allow the house to synchronize during the week of June 22.

Then these hopes were destroyed.

This does not mean anything of the Senate at least voted to proceed even to start the debate at the very end of the week of June 15.

Here is what really happened. And this underlines how long the process can be on Capitol Hill, in particular with very complicated and controversial legislation.

On Monday, June 23, the Republican senators spoke of taking a procedural vote to launch a debate on the big and beautiful bill as of Wednesday or Thursday June 25 or 26. Such a vote would only require 51 years. But the bill was not ready. The Republicans always manufactured and wrote the bill to include with the rules of the Senate budget. The GOP also aimed to write the legislation in order to the courtyard 51 Yeas to break the procedural obstacle and officially start to debate.

In the middle of the week has come and the Senate never took procedural vote. Sense. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., And Thom Tillis, RN.C., opposed a starting debate on a bill that was not complete.

Thus, the middle of the week turned into the weekend, and when the Senate met on Saturday June 28, Fox News was informed that the Chamber would take a procedural vote to start the debate around 4 p.m..

Well, you guessed it.

The Senate did not trigger this vote before 7:31 p.m. on Saturday. And the 15 -minute vote turned into a three -hour and 38 -minute case. The Senate closed the vote at 11:09 p.m.

Saturday – with Vice -President JD Vance nearby in case his services are necessary to break equality.

They were not.

At least not on the platform.

But Vance played a central role in negotiation with Johnson, Senator Rick Scott, r-fla., And others in Greenlight the Senate from the bill.

However, the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., then forced the clerks in the Senate to read the entire bill of 940 pages aloud from the platform. This company consumed just under 16 hours of thunderstorm. The clerks – Their raw and raucous voices – finished a few minutes after 3 p.m. Sunday. This has marked the first time that a senator forced the clerks to verbally read a bill in front of the Senate since 2021.

Thus, once the clerks have concluded their oratory, it was believed that the Senate could take place overnight with its voting session at the marathon – known as “vote -a -rama” – and try to finish the bill one day at dawn on Monday.

But it is the time of the congress.

The senators did not even start the A-Rama vote until 9:40 am on Monday. Twelve hours later, the head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, RS.D., suggested that it was time to “start to find” a last group of amendments necessary to conclude the bill.

Some groaned for this notion. A senator told Fox News that 12 hours later was a little late in the match to “start understanding” something of this magnitude.

The Senate then worked overnight on Monday and Tuesday. Thune and the management of the GOP finally concluded an agreement with Senator Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, on rural hospitals to bring together her vote. The Senate approved the bill Tuesday morning after a session all night. Vance was back to break the link in what is called a “Van Halen” vote. The count was 50 to 50 years since three GOP senators defeated. But Vance’s vote in favor made the call “51-50”.

For those who are not initiated into the discography of Van Halen, “5150” was Van Halen’s first album with the new main singer Sammy Hagar, supplanting David Lee Roth. He went to No. 1 on the Billboarding charts.

Then it was at home.

The house advances the bill of the massive agenda of Trump after the caves of the Caucus de la Liberté

The Rules of the Chamber’s Rules Committee serves as a bridge so that the legislation goes to the ground. He summoned a meeting early Tuesday afternoon. The Senate would soon send its revised version of the great and beautiful bill through the Dome of the Capitol for the Chamber to line up. The rules committee then met until about 1 a.m. on Wednesday, preparing the bill for the soil.

This meant that the room could vote at the end of Wednesday afternoon.

But there was a problem.

The leaders of the GOP of the Chamber discovered what they called a “technical error” in the rule. The entire chamber must first approve the rule before debating the laws on the prosecution. The room was therefore first to vote on the fix. This vote started early Wednesday afternoon – and continued for seven hours and 31 minutes. This established a record for the longest appeal vote in the history of the House, exceeding a vote of seven hours and 21 minutes in 2021.

Some Republicans were not at the Capitol. But they kept the vote open to buy time to work on skeptical members of the GOP which can be retained.

And around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, the president of the Mike Johnson room, R-La., Decided to dare to double Dog who was against the bill to put his polling card where their mouth was. The Republican leaders closed the vote of the “technical correction” and proceeded to a vote on the “rule”. If the Chamber adopted the rule, it could officially debate the bill. The room was stuck if its members had not approved the rule.

The counting board behind the platform in the house of the house populated relatively quickly. All the 216 Democrats said that no, there were also four votes from the GOP – and several who refused to vote yes. Republicans could only lose three votes while adopting the rule. Representative Thomas Massie, R -Ky., Was a yes on the rule – even if he opposed the bill. He then went to no while the vote was hanging out. However, Massie finally supported the rule at the end.

Hakeem Jeffries beats Kevin McCarthy’s record while blocking “ Big and Beautiful Bill ‘of Trump

The representatives Victoria SPARTZ, R-Ind., Keith Self, R-Texas, Andrew Clyde, R-GA., And Brian Fitzpatrick, R-P-P., Were not voted throughout the vote. But around 1 am, there was movement. The selected and some of those who voted met Johnson and other GOP leaders. It seemed to lose the votes of retained and adversaries – except Fitzpatrick.

But there was a problem.

The representative Scott Perry, R-P-PA. – Who had not voted – returned home in Pennsylvania. Thus, everyone at the Capitol patiently waited for Perry to come back. He did around 3:30 am Thursday. Everyone except Fitzpatrick voted as a block in favor of the rule. The room had the voices to start the debate on the rule.

It seemed that the room could vote around Daybreak on the bill itself.

But the office of the chief of the minority of the Hakeem Jeffries room, Dn.y., told Fox News on Wednesday that Jeffries intended to speak for about an hour at the end of the debate. There is a custom in the house where the main leaders of the two parties are sold “a minute” to speak on the ground. But it’s a “magic minute”. As courtesy for these leaders, they speak for as long as they wish.

Jeffries started talking before 5 a.m. Thursday – and finally concluded eight hours and 45 minutes later just after 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Jeffries broke the eight-hour and 32-minute brand established by the president of the Kevin McCarthy Chamber, R-Calif., In 2021. McCarthy filed the record as the leader of the minority.

Thus, these members of the room hoping to mount a flight early in the morning and go home for July 4 should wait.

Mike Johnson did not speak for as long as Jeffries. But he observed that the late President Ronald Reagan said one day that no speech should work more than 20 minutes.

Johnson spoke for 23 minutes.

And then the Chamber voted, finally adopting bill 218-214 at 2:31 p.m. Thursday. Fitzpatrick and Massie were the only NOES GOP.

It is said that we never have enough time in life. And if you work on Capitol Hill, you will probably have even less thanks to the management of the Congress clock.
