Congressional clock management delays Trump’s “big and beautiful bill”

Football and basketball coaches are experts in clock management.

The same goes for lawmakers.

The coach is good at burning or saving enough time to perform the game, or preventing another team from doing so.

Congressional clock management is very different.

Trump $3.3 Ton MegaBill sets House record for the longest vote in history

Whatever the MPs say they will do – it always takes a long time.

This is why the politics of time through the president Donald Trump“Big and Beautiful Bill” has been overwhelmed for the past few weeks.

From lawmakers themselves to aides, journalists, Capitol custodians and U.S. Capitol police.

witty:

Since February, Congressional Republicans have been stirred up by changes in various frameworks and iterations and changes in iterations. But when the house took the official version on May 22, things finally got serious, defeating the goal of Memorial Day for four days.

The Senate will resolve the House package this week on June 9. Then it fell to June 15th. The idea is that the Senate will handle its version of the bill that week and then allow homes to sync over the week on June 22.

Then those hopes were shattered.

At least at the end of June 15, the Senate began debates at least when it voted.

This is what really happened. It highlights how long-lasting processes can be found on Capitol Hill, especially in a very complex and controversial legislation.

On Monday, June 23, Republican senators talked about the debate on the processed votes for the large, beautiful bill as early as Wednesday, June 25 or Wednesday, June 26. This kind of vote only takes 51. But the bill is not ready. Republicans are still making and drafting the bill to comply with Senate budget rules. The Republican Party also aims to write legislation under the Court 51 YES to crack procedural barriers and formally start debate.

The mid-week is coming and the Senate has never held a procedural vote. Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. and Thom Tillis of RN.C. opposes the first debate on the incomplete bill.

So the midweek weekend turned into a weekend, and when the Senate called Saturday, June 28, Fox News was told that the Chamber of Commerce would conduct a procedural vote to start the debate around 4 p.m. ET.

Senate Republican Ram Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Act” passes key test vote

OK, you guessed it.

The Senate didn’t trigger the vote until 7:31 p.m. Saturday. The 15-minute vote turned into three hours and 38-minute events. Senate ends vote at 11:09 p.m.

Saturday – Vice President JD Vance is nearby in case his service is to break the draw.

They are not.

At least not on the daisy.

But Vance is in the process of Johnson, Sen. Rick Scott, R-FLA. Negotiating with others played a key role, starting the Senate with a green light.

But, Senate Minority Leader Chuck SchumerDN.Y., and then forced Senate staff to read aloud the entire 940-page bill from Dais. The company’s floor time is less than 16 hours. Clerk – Their voice ended a few minutes after 3pm on Sunday. This marks the first time since 2021 that the Senate has asked clerks to read a bill before the Senate.

So once the clerk came to the conclusion, it was believed that the Senate might meet with a marathon voting session (called “voting)” all night and try to complete the bill by dawn on Monday.

But this is the time of Congress.

Until 9:40 a.m. Monday, the senators didn’t even start voting. Twelve hours later, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Rs. (DD

Some people chant that concept. One senator told Fox News that after 12 hours, he was a little deeply “starting to figure out” something so big.

The Senate then toiled all night on Monday and Tuesday. Thune and the Republican leadership eventually made a deal with R-Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski to get her vote praised. The Senate approved the overnight meeting Tuesday evening. Vance returns to break the so-called “Van Harlen” vote. The statistics are 50-50 since the defection of three Republican senators. But Vance’s vote in favor made the “51-50” summon.

For those who are uneducated on Van Halen’s record, “5150” is Van Halen’s first album, replacing David Lee Roth with new frontman Sammy Hagar. It ranks number one on the billboard rankings.

Then, it’s in the house.

House pushes Trump’s massive agenda bill after Liberty Caucus Cave

The House Rules Committee is the gateway to the floor. It called a meeting Tuesday afternoon. The Senate will soon send its large bill of remodeling on the Capitol dome to keep the house consistent. The Rules Committee then continued to meet until about 1 a.m. Wednesday to prepare for the floor.

This means the house can vote on Wednesday afternoon.

But there is a problem.

House Republican leaders discovered what they called “technical errors” in the rules. The entire house must first approve the rules and then debate legislation on the floor. Therefore, the house needs to vote on the restoration procedure first. The vote began Wednesday afternoon – lasting seven hours and 31 minutes. This sets the record for the longest phone vote in House history, high in 2021 votes.

Some Republicans are not in the Capitol. But they held a voting open to buy skeptical Republican members who might be retained.

Wednesday at around 9:30 p.m., House Speaker Mike JohnsonR-la. Decided to put anyone who opposed the bill dared to put its voting card in their mouths. Republican leaders ended the “technical correction” vote and voted on the “rules.” If the House passes the rules, the bill can be formally debated. If a member of the house fails to approve the rule, the house will be stuck.

The tall board behind the house interior Dais is relatively fast. All 216 Democrats said there were no four Republicans without a vote—and there were several people who refused to vote were. Republicans can only lose three votes, but still pass the rules. R-Ky. Rep. Thomas Massie is rule-definitely – despite his opposition to the bill. Then, as the vote procrastinated, he turned no. However, Masi eventually supported the rule.

Hakeem Jeffries breaks Kevin McCarthy’s record

R-Ind. Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, Andrew Clyde, R-Ga. and R-Pa. Brian Fitzpatrick didn’t vote throughout the vote. But around 1 a.m., there is exercise. Reservations and some voters did not meet with Johnson and other Republican leaders. This seems to pry open the votes of reservations and opponents, except for Fitzpatrick.

But there is a problem.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-PA. – No voter drove home to Pennsylvania. So everyone in the Capitol waited patiently for Perry to come back. He was around 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Everyone except Fitzpatrick voted in favor of the rule. There is a vote in the House to start debate on the rule.

It seems the house may vote on the actual bill itself at dawn.

But the office of the House Minority Leader Hakeem JeffriesDN.Y. told Fox News Wednesday that Jeffries intends to speak for an hour or so at the end of the debate. There is a custom in the house where top leaders from both sides speak on the floor “in a minute”. But it was a “magic minute”. As politeness of those leaders, they just want to speak.

Jeffries began speaking before 5 a.m. Thursday—eventually ending eight hours and 45 minutes after 1:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Jeffries broke House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. The eight hours and 32 minutes established in 2021.

So those House members who wish to jump into the early morning must wait to return home on July 4.

Mike Johnson’s speech was not as good as Jeffries. But he did observe that the late President Ronald Reagan once said that no speech should be more than 20 minutes.

Johnson talked for 23 minutes.

The House then voted and finally passed Bill 218-214 at 2:31 p.m. Thursday. Fitzpatrick and Massie are the only Republican Noes.

We are said to have not lived enough. And if you work on Capitol Hill, you may be less due to Congressional clock management.
