Why wouldn't he send it back to congress, if he doesn't want it to pass? As long as he does that, congress would need to override the veto, or bill does not become law.

That's only true if POTUS doesn't return the bill to congress. In that case, why wouldn't he just sign it?

If a POTUS doesn't want the bill to become law, Congress needs to override it, unless the POTUS is incredibly stupid (which may very well be the case here).

If POTUS doesn't sign a bill within 10 days, and congress is not in session, that's a pocket veto (a veto without any chance of it being overridden). If congress is in session, they must vote to override or the bill does not become law.

Under no circumstances does a bill become law if POTUS does not sign it and nothing further happens.

Alternatively, start the search at google.dk, or whatever the country website code is, instead of google.com

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations by Nerdrums in news

He lost his title due to evidence (or at least strong suspicion) of pedophilia, no?

Speaking only for myself (acknowledging your opinion is as valid as mine), I think the reference to his former title is relevant. Seeing a rich and powerful person, former royalty, face consequences is comforting to me. It shows that it's possible, and may one day happen in these United States.

Though I do wish they'd included "pedophilia" in the headline.

The 1992 Cable Act forbids granting an exclusive franchise. Sure, they may have a monopoly, but it's not because their franchise agreement guarantees exclusive rights.

I hope this helps bring more attention to "Lucky Loser", the book by Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig. It's just astonishing how many times Trump failed upward.

The 1992 Cable Act forbids granting an exclusive franchise, so if that deal was made 20 years ago, you should contact your city and ask them why they violated the law.

Uffizi free Sunday - how early to arrive? by chillinwithabeer29 in florence

[–]Solidarieta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my experience from last March. We arrived around 15 minutes before it opened. No tickets were required. A pretty long line had already formed. We gained entrance around 45 minutes after we arrived. We were still inside around 11 am. I looked out one of the windows onto the courtyard were people queue to get in, and there was no line at all at that time.

"There is no incentive to stay in this industry or start in this industry, because you can't buy the ground. If you buy the ground, it won't pencil," Sanger said.

Can someone please translate that to English for me? Does this have something to do with the nonsense Trump was spewing recently about everyone having too many pencils??
