United states tax collector

"Are you sure you can settle it as soon as possible?"

David looked at him with interest.

"I have some 'friendship' with the people in the Legislative Committee, so I believe it should be fine!"

Josh has served as the party whip in the House of Representatives for so many years. If he is not confident that he can handle even a single committee, then there is no need for him to mess around.

"Okay, if you can handle this matter, then I will definitely not treat you badly in the future, but hurry up. You also know that the Freemasons are spending money like crazy and using various means to win over those congressmen. I am not too Put it off for a while.”

If Josh can handle this matter as soon as possible, it will save him a lot of time, so that he can concentrate on other things!

"No problem, just give me a day and I will get it done!"

"Okay, happy cooperation!"

“Happy to work with!”

After reaching an agreement and receiving their respective commitments, both parties shook hands happily.

"Inspector General David, without further ado, I will take care of this matter first!"

"Go!"

Josh stopped talking nonsense, stood up and left resolutely.

Soon, only David and Church were left at the scene.

"Inspector General David, after Josh handles this matter, the bill will enter the stage of dialectics and improvement. They will not be able to choke us at this stage. Then it will be smooth all the way to the voting stage. But what I want to know Yes, do we really have no problem with the number of votes now?”

Church had promised Josh that he would get enough votes, but that was actually just to make the other party give up the idea of ​​wavering and stand up.

In fact, he was somewhat worried about the situation of those congressmen.

"According to the statistics of my staff, we now have 228 votes, plus the vote in the hands of Josh, that is 229 votes, but...at present, many of them involve double-dealing , when the voting comes, there will still be some uncertainties.”

Church was naturally happy to hear the first half of David's words, but he was secretly worried about the second half.

Logically speaking, being able to hold 229 votes in the House of Representatives is already a huge advantage.

However, during the voting process of bills in the past, there are indeed many legislators who have already lobbied for the bill, but suddenly defected and the bill was aborted.

What's more, the three major Masonic groups are now spending huge amounts of manpower and financial resources to lobby these congressmen.

And since David has said that there are many double-dealers among them, it shows that the hidden dangers are indeed not small.

"But don't worry too much. I will try my best to get it done in a few days, so that there will be fewer defections by then. Anyway, as long as I can get 218 votes."

Hearing David's comfort, Church nodded first, and then seemed to remember something again, and asked: "Based on the current number of votes, plus your next operation, Inspector General David, I think it should pass the vote of the House of Representatives. There’s no problem.”

"Even if everything goes well, it is highly likely that the Senate will pass it."

"But the only thing I'm worried about is that when it's submitted to Mr. President, will he really sign it?"

His worries are not without reason.

Regardless of Paidon's lack of public stance, or even some information coming out from various quarters, he even hopes that this bill will be passed.

However, the three major groups of Freemasonry are still very powerful after all. When the bill really passes both houses of Congress, these three major groups will definitely make a fuss about this faction.

It's hard to say whether Paiden can withstand the pressure when the time comes.

"If Paiden refuses to sign by then, then we will have to win the approval of two-thirds of the members to pass the bill. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult..."

Judging from the current situation, there is great hope that this bill can pass the House of Representatives and the Senate.

However, it may be a bit difficult to win two-thirds of the members of both houses.

Moreover, the three major groups are not Muggles. How could they allow you to win over so many congressmen?

Church gradually became worried about this issue. He raised his head and looked directly at David, wanting to hear what David thought about this.

Unexpectedly, there was no worry or frown on David's face, only a calm expression.

It was as if everything had been expected by him.

"We have reached this point. No one can prevent the passage of this bill, not even the President. If he refuses to sign it, then I will find a way to get him to sign it, or... someone else will sign it on his behalf. It’s not a bad idea!”

David's words shocked Church.

What does it mean to sign someone else for him?

Could it be said that David has the idea of ​​​​taking action against the president?

But this is not possible. According to the provisions of the American Constitution, the president cannot be subject to any judicial sanctions as long as he is in office.

Could it be...right!

Impeach!

Church's thoughts changed instantly.

The president of the United States cannot be sanctioned by judicial proceedings, but sanctions can be imposed on him through congressional impeachment.

As long as the impeachment is successful, the president will have to step down.

For example, Nixon was involved in the Watergate scandal.

But I have to say that Inspector General David is really brave. He even dares to take on the president’s ideas. This is crazy!

"Go ahead and contact us if you need anything."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now."

Church put away his messy thoughts, stood up and left without saying anything more.

…

Josh really didn't exaggerate. On the second day, David saw the announcement of Congress on TV that the tax avoidance bill had officially received the legislative code.

After receiving the code, Church and his people naturally did not neglect it and directly announced that the bill would be discussed by the committee to dialectically improve it!

As for the process, it would take several days, so it was not urgent.

"Go tell Elvis to help me collect some "relevant information" of Mr. President!"

In the office, David told Munson.

Munson was shocked when he heard this, and then asked weakly: "Inspector General, that's Mr. President, you see..."

The two words "President" are deterrent to anyone in the United States, and he is no exception.

"It's just a collection, there won't be any problem, go!"

He has been busy with this bill for so long, and he will definitely not allow any link to go wrong.

As for the presidential signature, even if Church hadn't said it yesterday, he had already planned to make some preparations.

If nothing is done in advance, who knows if there will be any changes if the White House is stuck and refuses to sign.

So, make some preparations in advance. If the White House really hesitates, he can use this to exert some pressure and let them sign the bill quickly to take effect.

Seeing David's firm tone, Munson didn't dare to say anything more and turned away quickly.

A few hours later, Munson came back with a document in his hand and placed it in front of David.

David picked it up and looked at it for a while, and his expression began to become playful.

Paiden himself didn't have any big problems, but the reason why he said there were no big problems was that those trivial matters could not put pressure on him, the first man in the United States.

But... his son has a big problem.

According to the information, his son is a playboy.

He is involved in all kinds of things, such as eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking, and has been arrested by law enforcement agencies many times. It is only because his father, the president, has come forward to clean up his mess that he has been able to get away with it until now.

In addition, according to the information, his son has long served as a senior executive in a commercial company in Ukraine, and has many interests with the British Empire, Israel and other countries.

According to the intelligence information obtained by the CIA, these interests are likely to be instructed by Padden himself.

But intelligence is intelligence, it is not direct evidence, so for Padden and his son, it is at most "throwing dirty water", and they can't do anything to them.

As for whether the CIA has direct evidence of their black material?

The answer is no.

But this is also normal.

As the president, how could Padden let the CIA control his handle?

It seems that the breakthrough lies in his son!

I have to find a time to meet his son.

Get some useful things from this dude quietly, and if the White House really wants to block his bill from signing, it can use this to put pressure on him!

Of course, there is one more urgent thing to do now, that is, to knock on those congressmen who may be subverted.

Thinking of this, David immediately picked up the phone and started to arrange the itinerary...

...

Senado Island

In the conference room, Henrietta sat on the main seat, and on his left and right were the seven major families.

Opposite Henrietta and the seven major families were other members of the Freemasons, and Nan Xi who was invited.

Nan Xi seemed to know why the Freemasons invited her here, so when she came here, she did not intend to take the initiative to ask, but waited for the other party to speak.

"What did you do to Speaker Nan Xi? How did they get the legislative number so quickly?"

The first to attack was Joshua of the Mogen family, and although the others present did not directly accuse her, they also showed dissatisfaction.

In the final analysis, Nan Xi is indeed responsible for this matter.

After all, as the speaker of the House of Representatives, she couldn't control her committee and let the bill get the legislative number so quickly. This is really wrong.

"I do have some responsibility for this matter. I didn't expect that Josh would suddenly attack, and I didn't expect that he would deal with the committee so quickly. By the time I reacted, it was too late..."

Although Nan Xi apologized in her words, her expression was cold and indifferent, without any guilt.

"What's the use of being responsible? If they didn't get the legislative number so quickly, then we would have more time to convince those swing congressmen..."

"Okay!"

Before Joshua finished speaking, Henrietta called and interrupted: "Since their bill has already got the legislative number, it will soon enter the voting stage of the House of Representatives. How many votes do we have now?"

Hearing this, everyone present instantly quieted down.

Legislative numbers and the like are actually not important at all. The number of votes in Congress is the most important!

"According to statistics, we currently have 221 votes, but..."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

As I said before, in the House of Representatives, as long as you have 218 votes, you can have the final say!

But when the word 'but' appeared at the end, everyone suddenly felt bad.

"But what?"

Henrietta asked immediately.

"These 221 votes are only calculated on the surface. I believe everyone knows that in the voting process in Congress, preliminary statistics alone are useless. Many members can be said to support us today, but they will vote tomorrow. Being able to vote for the other party..."

Obviously, the Freemasons can poach the good congressmen that David can persuade, and David can naturally poach the good congressmen that they can persuade.

And now on the surface, whether it is the Freemasons or David's side, they have an advantage in the number of votes they have.

But until the actual voting, no one can guarantee which of those congressmen are human and which are ghosts.

"This won't work. Then David's best skill is to trick people. We were tricked by him once in the last assassination. If we can't guarantee that the 221 votes we have counted now, he deliberately asked us to count them. Come here to confuse us!”

"Yes, if we had an absolute advantage, say a high number of 250 or 260 votes, we wouldn't be afraid of their instigation, but now the apparent statistical advantage is only a few votes, which is too unsafe!"

"We have spent nearly 20 billion US dollars in all major states these days. How come the number of votes is so low?"

The Freemasons at the scene suddenly became worried.

"enough!"

While everyone was still doing their duties, a voice came out, causing everyone to shut their mouths.

Because the person who made this voice was none other than Henrietta, the leader of the group.

"Nan Xi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the current situation is so unfavorable for us. I would like to ask you not to have reservations anymore and help us settle this bill first. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to do your best to help me, we three will do whatever you want. As long as the big group can do it, we will try our best to satisfy you!”

Henrietta was very clear mentally.

Although Nan Xi apparently helped them operate the legislative code secretly, he still had reservations about dealing with David.

He really didn't believe that this dignified leader of the House of Representatives would really be powerless to watch the legislative number being obtained by David.

But no matter what, Nan Xi is still the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

If she intervenes in this court with all her strength, the chances of winning for several major groups will definitely increase a lot.
