In summy, on a Sunday John McCain went to Arizona to spent christmas with his family and is battling brain cancer ,which stops the Republican party on voting which they somewhat needs the senator vote but couldn't vote due to his surgery. So Trump told reporters that even through McCain is going through a really tough time that he will come back if they really need his vote. In which McCain was being treated at Walter Reid National Military medical center and was diagnosed with gliblastoma, an agressive malignant brain tumor that causes seizures, headaches, blurred vision and many other symptoms. His daughter was tweeting about family holiday plans and thanking all people who said kind words to her father to feel better. Senator John missed several senate votes, voted for initial version of tax bill, including sweeping tax cuts, passed senate with 51 botes, and the Republican leaders can pass the final version but since it's in the House-senate negotiations can't afford any more defections. Which the bar is set high to pass the legislation and they feared that two other people couldn't vote even through they wanted to pass the legislation. McCain has a good spirit is doing very well from his recovery and someone said he remains one of the toughest man on the earth. The issue here is both good and bad because even through McCain couldn't get his vote in, it did help a little bit to stop the voting somewhat and their is a chance the government and Trump doesn't need to wait for McCain to get his vote. Which the president and the others Republicans did need another vote in order to pass the bill for tax but their is ninety percent they can pass this legislation quick and simple. How can Trump and Republicans get the legislation to pass without John McCain vote?

ReplyDeleteI believe President Trump needs to puck up and get his act together because this would be one of the most serious moments he may be in. With an absent John McCain, he would need to step up and make sure he can get the necessities to pass without this man’s vote. But a troubling question would be, what if he can’t pass it without the vote and John McCain cannot vote ?
ReplyDeleteI do not think the Republicans can get the legislation to pass without John McCain due to the reason that it is highly un likely to take away a senators vote. Due to the the reason of every vote matters where the votes of the senators matter and to take that away because of a health issue is unconstitutional because there is a certain amount of votes from the senate that is needed to pass a law also you cannot vote for someone else , and to deny that fact is wrong and trump and the republicans cannot do that because it is wrong by the law.
ReplyDeleteI think that John is a very important vote but they should still be able to vote on this bill because they can’t afford to wait for him to make his full recovery and return. I just dont agree with the full idea of having a tax cut because if there is a cut in tax that would make the gov’t less responsible for building and paying to keep the states up. Paying taxes allows the gov’t to pay for and make programs and such to better the country. Cutting this tax would get rid of that responsiblity
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you said and yes even through John is a important vote,the Republicans can't afford to wait for him to recover which can take months. Also, the tax bill is going to hurt American and help economically and socially because people either will or will not have money in thier pockets and this will hurt jobs and help something for middle class people
