.MaddowBlog: As House passes disaster-relief bill, Pres. Trump gets confused.
Congress’ disaster-relief package – traditionally the sort of thing that passed easily – was needlessly delayed for months. Donald Trump had some specific demands related to border funding and excluding aid for Puerto Rico; Democrats balked; and so the bill languished.
A small group of House Republicans managed to delay the bill for another week – it’s not at all clear why they bothered – but yesterday, the legislative process came to an end. With the 354-58 vote, the bill will now be sent to President Donald Trump for his signature, which can be delivered via auto-pen while he’s on a state visit to the United Kingdom.
