Chapter 757: Chapter 379: The Bill Passes the House of Congress_2
With that, she had not only fulfilled her agreement with David, ensuring she wouldn’t be liquidated by him, but she also had a reason to explain to Freemasonry.
“Brilliant! The bill has passed!”
“Hahaha, I always believed this bill would pass, and now it turns out just as expected!”
“A bill that benefits our common people like this should indeed be passed!”
“222 votes in favor, a very good start!”
Seeing this result, the ordinary citizens who supported the bill were ecstatic.
...
After all, if the bill did indeed pass, they would be the biggest beneficiaries in the future!
Meanwhile, over at Senado Island,
At this moment, the faces of all Freemasonry members were extremely ugly.
After a long silence, one member cursed through clenched teeth: “Nancy is incompetent, damn Amy, they are all fucking bitches!”
“Damned Nancy, damned Amy, we entrusted them with so much capital, resources, to stabilize the situation, but the bill still passed, what the hell!”
“Those two incompetent bitches, I’m going to kill them!”
“…”
As this member started to speak out, the rage of others was also ignited.
Ever since the offshore tax avoidance bill was announced, they hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.
Under Henrietta’s call to arms, everyone deeply understood the harm this bill posed to them and contributed money and effort as required.
Despite paying so much, they still couldn’t stop the bill from passing in the House of Representatives.
No wonder they were raging mad.
And hearing so many insults, Henrietta’s old face turned red with rage.
As the head of the Freemasonry Group, he had personally directed and planned all these actions, but still failed to prevent the bill from passing the House of Representatives.
He would definitely have to take the blame for this!
Apart from Freemasonry, at the same time, the Illuminati, Ansa Group, and all the capitalists in America were also ranting and venting.
But, as the old saying goes, one man’s joy is another’s sorrow.
Internal Revenue Service Headquarters.
“Nice, really nice!”
“Effort pays off, our bill has finally passed!”
“It passed not only, but also exceeded the vote count of our previous ‘black tax’ bill, which is just great!”
“Hahaha, The Big Three Groups tried every trick in the book, but they still couldn’t stop our bill from passing the House of Representatives. Now they’ve truly lost their wives and their soldiers!”
Executives laughed, high-fived, and embraced each other in celebration of the bill’s passage.
Back then, the ‘black tax’ bill was started and postponed, improved and restarted, consuming countless resources and time of the Tax Bureau, before it finally passed the House of Representatives.
But to their surprise, the seemingly difficult offshore tax avoidance bill passed on the first attempt and exceeded the votes by 4, which was truly a joyous event.
Although everyone was excited, they were also very clear in their minds.
David naturally deserved the most credit for the bill’s breakthrough and final passage in the House of Representatives!
Thinking of this, many executives turned their gaze toward David, planning to commend him.
But then they noticed that unlike the others who were overjoyed, David not only seemed very calm at the moment, but his face also appeared contemplative, as if pondering something deeply.
Seeing this, Welton Heng couldn’t help but speak out, “What’s the matter, Chief Inspector David?”
“It’s only passed the House of Representatives, it’s not yet something to celebrate!”
Upon hearing these words, the group of high-ranking officials was stunned, but the joy that had erupted was quickly subdued a great deal.
This was because, in the time that had passed, in order to stop their bill from being passed, The Big Three Groups had sent out Nancy, the Speaker of the House, and had spent hundreds of billions of US Dollars in various states. Their influence could not be said to be small.
So, when the bill had overcome numerous difficulties and shattered the opposition from The Big Three Groups, it was only then that people became excited and momentarily forgetful.
But now, thinking calmly, David was indeed correct.
In America, for a piece of legislation to be successfully adopted, it is not enough for it just to pass the House of Congress.
After passing the House, it also needs to pass the Senate.
Even after passing the Senate, there’s still the President’s signature to contend with.
And currently, of the three hurdles, only the first had been cleared. As David said, it really wasn’t something to be overly happy about!
After all, there are no few examples of bills that passed the House of Congress but were ultimately sent back by the Senate.
Who could then say that their current legislation wouldn’t be sent back by the Senate or get stuck at the President’s signature?
“Inspector David is right. Let’s all calm down. On the surface, it seems like the bill has now passed the House of Congress, with a count of 222 votes in favor, but in reality, our situation is still very passive!”
“222 votes, which is a big gap from the two-thirds majority required for the bill to pass forcefully. We may need to consider this issue!”
The two-thirds majority that Obadiah mentioned was, of course, also in preparation for a possible refusal by the President to sign the bill.
Now that the bill had already passed the House of Congress, The Big Three Groups would definitely focus on the Senate, and once the Senate also passed it, they would only have to guard against the President’s signature.
In that case, if it really came to that, The Big Three Groups would surely stop at nothing to prevent Payden from signing.
Therefore, only by obtaining a two-thirds majority in Congress would it be possible to forcefully bypass the President’s signature!
And, upon hearing Obadiah’s words, the expressions of the high-ranking officials present instantly fell.
The 222 votes they had secured had already cost them an enormous effort. As for obtaining a two-thirds majority in both chambers, one could imagine the difficulty.
…
Now back to the Congress.
After some time to adjust, Nancy, the storm that raged within her heart, had temporarily settled.
She was definitely responsible for the bill’s passage in the House of Congress, which she oversaw, but now that it was done, anything she said was useless.
Moreover, she had come to a clear understanding that although the bill had passed the House, there were still the Senate and the President to contend with.
Strengthened by these two checkpoints, there was still a chance of stopping the bill from passing.
“The number of votes in favor of the Offshore Tax Avoidance Bill is 222, the number against is 213. I hereby declare that the Offshore Tax Avoidance Bill has officially passed the House of Congress and will next be transferred to the Senate!”
Although reluctant, as the Speaker of the House, Nancy naturally had to bite the bullet and make the announcement now that the results had come in.
And with her declaration, the likes of Church and other congressmen also began to cheer and raise their arms.
Even though they were well aware that there were two more checkpoints to come, and they wouldn’t be able to interfere much further, it was still under their support that the bill passed the House of Congress. Cheering and venting was normal for these congressmen.

In response to the passage of the Offshore Tax Avoidance Bill, reactions varied.
Initially, The Big Three Groups were furious, but they quickly adjusted. After all, what was done was done, and no amount of anger would help their cause.
And the opportunity to turn the tide lay ahead!
For the Internal Revenue Service and the Kennedy Family, this counted as a victory in this phase, so their mood was quite pleasant.
“Hello to our viewers at home. Today, the House of Congress has officially passed the Offshore Tax Avoidance Bill with a vote count of 222. It will next be transferred to the Senate. Stay tuned to our channel to see what happens next…”
For the major media outlets, such a major piece of news was naturally a cause for celebration.
