What should happen on January 3rd, 2019: the newly-Democrat controlled House passes a clean CR without funding for a useless and wasteful border barrier (cuz it's not really a wall anyway), and gives it to the Senate to consider. The Senate considers it and votes, and it goes to the President. If it doesn't have funding for what the current President-in-name-only thinks is necessary, he vetoes it. Then the House and Senate can try to override the veto.
But no; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who seems to be making up new rules and guidelines and do-it-my-way procedures every day, now seems to think that the Senate can't vote on something that the President won't sign.
The last time I looked (and it was recently), this was certainly not in the Constitution. But the Constitution is rarely a consideration for Mitch McBitch.
Federal shutdown enters second week with no resolution in sight
"But House Democrats alone will not be able to break the impasse. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) indicated last week he will not hold a vote on any spending plan that Trump will not sign, meaning a solution to the shutdown will depend on a deal between Trump and Democratic leaders."That ain't right. I'm contributing to anyone running against the bitch in 2020, even if they don't have a chance to beat him, because I need to make a statement about this corndog.
