Dems prepare bills to rescind Muslim ban, limit Trump’s powers
2017-01-31
[Iran Press TV] US Democratic politicians have prepared two bills aimed at rescinding President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s entry ban on a number of Moslem countries.

Trump's directive, which was signed on Friday, blocked entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It also suspended the entry of all refugees for 120 days and barred Syrian refugees indefinitely.

"The first bill immediately rescinds the order. The second limits executive authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act," read a tweet by Senator Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
, who was expected to introduce the bills later on Monday.

She said her bills would bar Trump from unilaterally banishing factions of immigrants colonists.

Democrats have a narrow path to victory, however, given that they are outnumbered by Republicans in both Senate and the House of Representatives.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. Senate minority leader as of 2017.
said Sunday that they had a chance to pass the legislation and overturn Trump’s ban if enough Republicans joined them.
Saccorhytus coronarious surely lives.

#14  As a signing statement I believe this should be entirely ignored except for the part that states Senator Dianne Feinstein should be forced to wear clown shoes and a rubber nose and glasses while working in the Senate.

#11  Alexander, Collins, Hatch, Murkowski, maybe Corker, Ernst, Fischer, McConnell, Rubio, Roberts or Toomey. Probably missed some.
House will be a lot tougher though.

#9  Supreme Court pick = a solution to a a hostile Congress.

#8  Of course they would have to consider the risk of being successfully, or at least expensively primaried.

#7  They may quite possibly attract enough Republicans to make it veto-proof, if they structure it right.

#6  You built the power of the Executive branch, now live with it.

#5  I hope they're using two-ply super soft paper - could come in handy for drying their tears later.

#4  And they expect him to sign this because...?

Because they are being reasonable by their lights.

#2  As a compliant idiot Schumer shines.

#1  I don't see how they can limit Trump's authority without an Constitutional admendment.

Not to mention Trump could simply invoke Obama's example and ignore the laws he doesn't like.
