United states tax collector
Chapter 383: Work of the Senate
Here at the IRS.
The House of Representatives has settled down. After everyone calmed down, Obadiah sent everyone else away, leaving only David and Donald in the meeting room.
"David, if we continue like this, even if we can pass both houses, it will be difficult to get two-thirds of the votes. This is something we have to consider now. Do you have any plans for this?"
As mentioned before, David has been working hard day and night for this bill.
So the two of them didn't ask too much, and they didn't know what David's other plans were.
But now that the bill has passed the House of Representatives, the two of them must know more about it.
"It is not necessary to get two-thirds of the votes of the congressmen..."
"If you don't get two-thirds of the votes of the congressmen, then you have to make the president sign honestly, but if the three major groups put pressure on him at that time, the White House may not be able to withstand it..."
Obadiah was about to continue, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, paused first, and then changed the subject: "Are you going to do something to the president?"
In fact, he had this guess before, and now after seeing David like this, his heart is more certain.
"That depends on him!"
David did not give a clear answer, but Obadiah and Donald understood it.
It seems that David really has this plan.
But the president has judicial immunity. If it really comes to that point and he has to take action against him, then the only way is to start the impeachment procedure.
But the person being impeached is the president!
And the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world, and it can even be said that there is no need to add one!
If he is really impeached, you can imagine how big a sensation it will be!
But then again, if it really comes to this, if you want to pass this bill, you really have to do this.
After all, it is really difficult to get two-thirds of the votes of the members.
"Okay, you can do it. Anyway, you know that no matter what you do, we will fully support you!"
Obadiah also knows that the reason why this bill has come to this point and passed the House of Representatives is all created by David alone.
So even if David wants to do something as big as impeaching the president, they can only continue to support it.
Because at this point, it is no longer a question of whether the bill can be passed, because once it fails, they will inevitably be liquidated by the entire American capitalists.
Only by making every effort to successfully legislate this bill can they keep the position of the IRS from being shaken!
So, before they decide to launch this bill, there is no way back. Either it succeeds, and the influence of the IRS will rise to an unprecedented state, or it fails, and the IRS faces power reduction!
In addition, there is no third way.
"I understand, Director!"
...
After the tax avoidance bill passes the House of Representatives, it will take 5 to 7 days of review before it can be voted on in the Senate.
So during this period of time, it will be a key for the three major groups and the IRS.
In view of the failure of the House of Representatives, the three major groups have certainly made a lot of arrangements for the future.
They all know that the next few days will be the top priority, and everyone must go all out to try to win more votes from senators.
Of course, if you want to win more votes from senators, spending money is essential.
After the call of the top leaders of the three major groups, they finally decided to withdraw another 10 billion US dollars for the operation of various things in these three days.
The three major groups are making arrangements in full swing, and David will naturally not be idle.
He first notified Elvis and Gavin, asking them to do a good job of monitoring all senators, to see which senators have signs of wavering or turning against them during this period, and report to him at any time.
In addition, he contacted the three major families in Texas and some families in other states that had influence on the Senate to come to Washington for negotiations.
The meeting place this time was still chosen at the George Kimpton Hotel where the dinner was held last night.
At seven o'clock the next night.
The George Kimpton Hotel was brightly lit, but apart from the security personnel and waiters, no other guests could be seen.
This was of course arranged by David. Such an important meeting should be cleared.
Soon, a car arrived at the door of the hotel.
The door opened, and Besemai from Texas got out of the car first, followed by Charlie and Gotha.
Next, some families from other states and the senator himself also came to the scene, and many people greeted each other and talked.
But soon after, with the arrival of Elvis and his group, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
By now, everyone already knew that this CIA intelligence boss was David's henchman.
The presence of such a person would naturally make those present feel a little timid and afraid of being targeted.
"Humph, I didn't expect David to call the spy chief over. Is this a warning to us?"
Here, a man next to Ivanka, who was invited, muttered with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
He is Ivanka's husband, Japheid Torrezon.
Currently, Ivanka's family serves as the CEO of New York Real Estate.
"This David, we agreed to hold a meeting at seven o'clock in the evening, but now it's almost seven-thirty, and there's still no one around!"
"Shut up!"
Ivanka on the side couldn't hold back her anger, and even looked at Japheid with scolding eyes.
Being yelled at, Japheid seemed a little aggrieved and replied: "I'm just saying..."
"You can't say it on such an occasion, it will cause trouble for our family!"
Ivanka was a little annoyed and glanced slightly at Elvis, who was not far away.
Seeing this posture, Japheid also realized that he had indeed said the wrong thing.
The CIA is already pervasive, not to mention that the person in charge of the intelligence department is still here, so you dare to say such complaining words in public, aren't you asking for trouble!
And although it was just a word of complaint, if it fell into the ears of a person like David who was determined to retaliate, it might cause some trouble!
While the two were still whispering, many people from various major families in the hotel lobby began to look at their watches, and some even showed a hint of impatience.
But because Elvis, the intelligence chief, was here, no one dared to publicly express dissatisfaction like Jafed did before.
Finally, after another ten minutes, David's figure finally appeared.
"Sorry, I have to deal with some official business at the moment, so I kept everyone waiting."
David didn't really want to leave these people alone.
Just now, he received calls from several senators, saying that the three major groups had begun lobbying these people. It took some time to make targeted arrangements, which led to the delay.
"Nothing, Inspector General David, we haven't met each other for a long time. We just have time to catch up on old times."
As a staunch supporter of David, Sean, who had been there early, was also very knowledgeable and resolved the embarrassment between the two parties with just one sentence.
"By the way, Inspector General David, let me introduce you to you. This is my uncle Roland. This is..."
Although families like Charlie, Bessemer, and Gotha had no choice but to reach an agreement with David, they were not necessarily optimistic about the success of this bill.
What I didn't expect was that after yesterday's round of voting, it actually passed.
Although it only passed the House of Representatives, everyone could witness David's strength from a peek.
So after being invited to come this time, major families sent their heavyweights one after another to see if they could gain more benefits after the bill was passed in the future.
After talking to these people, David scanned the field with his eyes. Then he left a word of excuse me and came to Ivanka, whose eyes were locked. He smiled and said: "Ivanka Madam, you're welcome."
When traveling across various states, David accidentally bumped into Ivanka once, and then he had the idea of pulling her into the water.
After all, the family behind the other party is the family of the former president. Although it suffered a lot of suppression after stepping down, its power is still not small.
"Thanks to Inspector General David, everything is fine."
Ivanka also replied with a graceful smile.
"Really, that's good, but then again, I invited your father to come with me tonight...so where are the others?"
"I'm sorry Inspector General David, my father is currently in Great Britain to discuss some matters and is really unable to spare time, so he specifically asked me to be the representative."
Hearing this, David narrowed his eyes slightly.
He has expressed his intention to meet the former president more than once, but the other party always finds various reasons to shirk it.
Originally, he thought that the smooth passage of the House of Representatives this time showed his strength, and he should be able to impress the other party to meet him.
But what I didn't expect was that the other party still planned to continue to 'watch the battle.' It seemed that the former president, who seemed to be doing his best, still had a lot on his mind.
Putting away his thoughts, David turned to look at the man next to Ivanka and asked: Is this...?
"Oh, by the way, this is my husband, Jafader, who is currently taking over our family's real estate business in New York!"
Ivanka introduced immediately.
"Inspector General David, nice to meet you!"
The so-called shadow of a famous tree. After seeing David, Japheid became awed in both body and language, as if he was a different person from the complaining look just now.
"Hello Mr. Jafed, welcome to your arrival tonight."
"Thank you, Inspector General David, for your invitation..."
After saying a simple hello, David turned to look at Ivanka and said, "I've prepared some wine on the terrace on the top floor. If you don't mind, why don't you go up and have a seat?"
"Since David and I, the Inspector General, have invited you, we naturally have no reason to refuse."
David nodded, turned to look at Munson, and said, "Tell them to come up."
"good."
Soon after, a large group of people headed by David came to the top floor, which was operating an open-air restaurant.
However, the restaurant had been tidied up at this time, with only a large round table placed in the middle.
After everyone was seated, several waiters placed glasses in front of everyone one after another, then took out several bottles of champagne and filled each person with half a glass.
David picked up the champagne, looked around at everyone and said: "The tax avoidance bill can be passed by the House of Representatives this time, and everyone present has made a great contribution. Come, let's have a toast and celebrate a little!"
Faced with David's order, who dared to refuse, and they all raised their glasses.
But before clinking glasses, Sean added: "Our major families have made great contributions, but the reason why this bill can be passed smoothly is of course mainly due to Inspector General David. Come, let us all toast Inspector General David first!"
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of the glasses colliding resounded throughout the rooftop.
After drinking, David motioned everyone to sit down first, and then looked at Elvis and said: "Director Elvis, you come and tell everyone first!"
"Yes."
Elvis nodded and said: "According to the latest news from our CIA, the three major groups plan to invest another 10 billion to conduct the final lobbying of senators in various states, so next..."
Elvis told the intelligence he had mastered one by one.
After listening, everyone on the scene looked solemn.
Although the three major groups' previous tactics of throwing money failed to prevent the bill from passing the House of Representatives, they still had some effect.
For example, the members of their major families all turned against each other at the last minute during the voting process, which resulted in only 222 votes.
Now the three major groups have once again used the same trick, and have thrown tens of billions of dollars. With such a huge amount of money, no one can guarantee whether the Senate can replicate the success of the House of Representatives in the future.
"Don't worry, I asked you to come here today not to learn from them to throw money. The purpose of asking you to come is very simple. Try to use all means to keep your senator seat and don't let the situation like the House of Representatives happen again!"
Before the vote, they counted 239 votes, but after the vote, the final number of votes was only 222.
In other words, at least 17 members are ghosts, which is not a low proportion.
If the Senate also encounters such a situation in the future, it will be troublesome.
After all, the Senate has only 100 votes, and each vote is very important, and there is no such tolerance rate as the House of Representatives.
And the Senate and the House of Representatives are somewhat different.
On the surface, the Senate only needs 51 votes in favor to pass.
But in fact, if you want to really pass it, you need at least 51 votes and 9 special votes to pass it.
Why do you say that 9 special votes are needed?
The reason is very simple.
When the bill reaches the Senate, if there are members who do not want the bill to pass, they can use speeches to prevent the bill from being voted on.
Some people here will ask, isn't it just a speech, how long can you speak?
No matter how good you are at speaking, it's already great to speak on the stage for one or two hours, can you still speak for a whole day?
Yes, you can really speak for a whole day!
According to the Congressional Act, before the bill is voted on in the Senate, members of the Senate can make extra-long speeches if they want to obstruct the passage of the bill.
There is no time limit for this extra-long speech.
If you can really speak for a day, then you have the right to speak for a day, and no one has the right to drive you away.
So in the history of the United States.
After many bills come to the Senate, the opposition members will use this method to delay, which eventually leads to the failure of the bill!
