The US Senate has done its business - voted in favor of a law on assistance to Ukraine. But this is only half of the case - now the project comes to the House of Representatives, and it will not be easy. Journalist Roman Shrik describes events.
Let's go again.
The project should be supported by the House of Representatives. But Trumpists have great influence in the ward, so it will not be easy. Speaker Johnson was already grunting to this project.
Apparently, there is a vote for the adoption of the project in the ward, so the main intrigue - whether he is made to the vote. The speaker, unfortunately, has great powers, and he decides what to bear and what is not, but there is a nuance.
The options are:
- The speaker does not take the project stupidly to the vote, and then nothing happens. Here either finish or new negotiations about another project.
- The speaker does not be stupidly to vote, and Democrats and pro -Ukrainian Republicans collect 218 signatures under a petition for consideration of the project. Such petitions are rare, about every 10 years. In addition, the procedure is motor, but if there is no other way, what, let's see this movie.
- The ward makes changes to the project. For example, he throws financial assistance to Ukraine, leaving military and humanitarian, or replaces a grant (free) form of credit assistance, well, or something else comes up with something.
In order for the project to be finally approved and signed by Biden , it is necessary that both chambers vote for identical text. Therefore, the changed version will have to consider the Senate. Of course, it may not be considered if the changes are already in the way. Then a finish or negotiations about a new project.
In the sum. The first season of the series is over, the second begins. I think his main action will be in March.
