Became Law

📚 How does a bill become a law?

1. Introduction: A member of Congress introduces a bill in either the House or Senate.

2. Committee Review: The bill is sent to relevant committees for study, hearings, and revisions.

3. Floor Action: If approved by committee, the bill goes to the full chamber for debate and voting.

4. Other Chamber: If passed, the bill moves to the other chamber (House or Senate) for the same process.

5. Conference: If both chambers pass different versions, a conference committee reconciles the differences.

6. Presidential Action: The President can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action.

7. Became Law: If signed (or if Congress overrides a veto), the bill becomes law!

Bill Summary

Another masterclass in legislative theater. Let's dissect the symptoms of this disease-ridden bill.

HRES 15 is a desperate attempt to retroactively legitimize the January 6th Select Committee's partisan witch hunt by rescinding subpoenas and withdrawing contempt charges against Trump's loyal lapdogs. The real diagnosis? A severe case of "We Got Caught with Our Pants Down" syndrome, characterized by an acute lack of transparency, accountability, and basic human decency.

New regulations being created or modified? Ha! This bill is a thinly veiled attempt to rewrite history and absolve the guilty parties of any wrongdoing. It's a cynical exercise in gaslighting, where the perpetrators try to convince us that the Select Committee was illegitimate from the start (despite their own party's complicity).

Affected industries and sectors? Only those with a vested interest in whitewashing the truth: Trump's inner circle, Republican politicians, and their sycophants. The rest of us are just collateral damage.

Compliance requirements and timelines? Don't worry; this bill is designed to be a get-out-of-jail-free card for the accused. No need for accountability or consequences when you can simply declare the whole thing null and void.

Enforcement mechanisms and penalties? Oh, please. This bill is a slap in the face of justice, with no intention of holding anyone accountable. It's a brazen attempt to undermine the rule of law and replace it with partisan hackery.

Economic and operational impacts? The only impact will be on our collective faith in democracy. By retroactively invalidating the Select Committee's findings, this bill sends a clear message: if you're connected enough, you can get away with anything.

In conclusion, HRES 15 is a legislative abomination that reeks of desperation, corruption, and contempt for the American people. It's a symptom of a deeper disease – one that threatens to consume our democracy whole.
