American said:Here's a link regard this bill. As usual, the Bush haters jump the gun and fall on their faces. It wasn't Bush that screwed up, it was a Senate clerk. The screw up was in Congress. Bush signed what was officially sent to him. Some of you really need to develop some maturity.
Kind of sneaky. What you omit is that Dennis Hastert called Bush and told him that he had the wrong bill on his desk. Bush signed it anyways. The fact that Bush signed the bill, knowing it to be the wrong one, is the basis of the lawsuit. Did you knowingly omit that fact, or didnt you read the article thoroughly enough?Stinger said:I was just going to post that it would be the duty of the Congressional clerk to make sure the right version of the bill was sent over to be signed, the onus was not on the White House. Yep once again they declare Bush King and everything is his responsibility and then complain about it and make fools of themselves.

There isnt? Want to borrow my reading glasses?Stinger said:There is nothing in your orignal link about Hastert and your second linke states
" The Senate bill set those payments at 13 months. But by the time it reached the House, the provision was rewritten to 36 months. The president signed the Senate's version into law.
Shortly after Bush signed the bill, the Senate passed legislation that Republican leaders hoped would clear up the confusion. The legislative fix stated that the version signed by Bush reflected "the intent of the Congress in enacting the bill into law." The House never took up that bill."
REAL sneaky on your part.
Further, Waxman says there is reason to believe that the Speaker of the House called President Bush before he signed the law, and alerted him that the version he was about to sign differed from the one that actually passed the House. If true, this would put the President in willful violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Of course, Hastert wasnt mentioned, but the Speaker of the House was.
Hmmmm, isnt the speaker Hastert? The sneaker is back in your court
Stinger said:Yes my mistake, I only searched for his name in the article.
And after reading both articles seems to me it was deal that was a workaround to the clerks error.
So what's the big deal?
danarhea said:Big deal?
1) Hastert to Bush - You have the wrong bill on your desk.
2) Bush - OK.
3) Bush signs wrong bill anyways.
Duh......
