First option is likely, if he vetoes. Second option seems unpalatable and unlikely, but possible given the politics. And the last outcome seems doubtful, but Democratic leaders may have a chance here to deliver more money for people if they want to give Trump the credit. — PolitiTweet.org

Here are the possible outcomes of Trump vetoing the coronavirus/omnibus Bill: -Congress just overrides and Trump looks powerless -Congress isn’t able to pass a new bill or override and Trump gets the blame -Congress actually amends the bill, people get $2,000, and he gets credit — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Both chambers passed this bill with majorities that could easily override a veto — 359-53 and 92-6 — and it is so Donald Trump to only offer his opinion on the legislation *after* it’s passed. If he didn’t like how much money it sent to people, would’ve been easy to tweet that. — PolitiTweet.org

I hate to be one of those people, but I honestly think Trump gesturing that he’ll veto the coronavirus/omnibus bill is a distraction from him pardoning corrupt Congressmen and I don’t think we should focus on it. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Happy to have Trump fans defend him pardoning corrupt Congressmen and staffers. Sure, I’ll read your deranged explanation. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Trump’s whole thing is accusing other people of the things he’s guilty of. It’s one of the reasons the word “gaslighting” has been a staple of the last four years. But Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” was so empty and so in contrast to his corruption it’s infuriating. — PolitiTweet.org

Two Congressman who thought they were above the law, who used their positions for self-enrichment. These are two men who deserve no sympathy, no clemency, and yet they get it because they were quick to support Donald Trump. Just obvious corruption and abuse of his power. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter — the first two Republicans in Congress who endorsed Trump. Collins went down for insider trading and Hunter was convicted of using campaign funds as his own personal piggy bank. Extremely drain the swamp. — PolitiTweet.org

@JaredHuffman @MattGlassman312 Well, this is where the Constitutional hurdle might be beneficial. If you make it so that it’s *basically* an agreement to raise pay for the next term based on those conditions, it removes some of the immediate political pressure and paycheck games. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@MattGlassman312 The way to get it through is some twist on No Budget, No Pay. Members get performance bonuses for no shutdowns, no continuing resolutions, individual appropriations bills, etc. Now to just figure out how to make it Constitutional... — PolitiTweet.org

A neat thing to remember is that the coronavirus relief portion of this bill is roughly $900 billion not because that’s all we need, but because some Republicans didn’t like the idea of passing a bill that was more than a trillion. Totally arbitrary. Not based on anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Phaseouts are generally good policy, but they usually mean lawmakers don’t intend on extending those provisions. A congressional paradox is that you try to make bad policy (sequestration, cliffs, etc.), so that lawmakers have to make good policy (extend unemployment benefits). — PolitiTweet.org
