| xp1337 12/25/20 5:32:30 PM #27: | Oh, right, not sure we talked about this point but as far as I can tell, despite Congress technically passing it before the pocket veto deadline... I don't think it was "officially transmitted" to the White House until yesterday which means the 10 day clock didn't start until then. ...Which means Trump can pocket veto the COVID Relief and Government Funding bill by doing nothing because the clock skips Sundays so it doesn't expire until January 4 when Congress is constitutionally mandated to adjourn by noon on January 3. (I'm actually not sure what happens in the mind-numbingly bizarre scenario of "can Trump just sit on it and pout for 9 days then sign it after Congress adjourns at the last second" so I'm just going to assume that that doesn't work and that if Trump does nothing by January 3rd the bill is dead. Also not 100% sure if the Senate can pull parliamentary bullshit to delay a veto override vote (but it's the Senate so "probably") making the effective time even less.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
