The US House of Representatives today passed a bill that closes a "loophole" that allowed President Bush to circumvent the Senate confirmation process for federal prosecutors.The legislation, authored by Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), passed the House with a vote of 306-114. It has already cleared the Senate (94-2), and it is expected that Bush will sign it into law.
He will? What gives? Oh wait. I know. That's a pretty hefty margin of passing. Why put yourself in the position of having your veto overridden? You wouldn't look all-powerful that way, would you?
The jig is up on that sneaky deal.
But, not to worry. We have others.
