President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

If the president doesn't sign a bill, it becomes law in 10 days. Sundays don't count, and if congress adjourns during the period, it counts as a veto.

A president refusing to do their duty should be impeached imo.

I believe there's an amendment to take care of that, it's the second one.

What's the outcome of impeachment? He has a higher number than he can count to, so what would be the point?

What's the magical number of impeachments you think would have any affect whatsoever? Words on pieces of paper do not mean a fucking thing, shit will keep getting worse until people realize this.

And people who rape children should be drowned slowly in hydrofluoric acid, but we don't live in a world where either of those things happen.
