Donald Trump Has Signed 28 Bills Into Law (Congress, health care, Whitehouse)

[Rufus Clay Banger]

More than any other President at this juncture since 1949. Including:

S. 544: "A bill to amend the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 to modify the termination date for the Veterans Choice Program, and for other purposes."

H.R. 321: "Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Women Act"

H.R. 255: "Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act"

So, remember that when Democrats say he's got nothing done.

But why sign executive orders if you have full control over every chamber of government. Did the Legislative branch already give the President a blank check to sign on everything. There is no legislation going on. Full control and stumped on Health Care which the (R) had 7 years to figure out. I don't see any Governing going on which is scary b/c there is virtually no obstruction. It should be easier to Govern now with full control than past Presidency's. Signing all these executive orders in a favorable climate make zero sense.

A bunch of Executive Orders, but very little legislation.

ENORMOUS difference.

S. 544 - Sponsor - Democrat - Sen. Tester, Jon [D-MT]
H.R. 321 - Sponsor - Republican - Rep. Comstock, Barbara [R-VA-10]
H.R. 255 - Sponsor- Democrat -Rep. Esty, Elizabeth H. [D-CT-5]

These are all non-partisan issues with no controversy and have no spending or rights issues

Ah, H.R. 255! Here is a link to said Act which Donald John Trump signed INTO LAW:


https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...-bill/255/text


The pertinent part (the Act was amending a prior law, by inserting this sentence, appended to another sentence):


"encourage its entrepreneurial programs to recruit and support women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world."


Oddly enough, it doesn't really do anything, does it? Same for H.R. 321. Simply an 'aspiration' bill, as they are known.


Here is the link to the Senate Bill 544:


https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...-bill/544/text


Read it, and despair, Democrats!


"In any case in which an eligible veteran is furnished hospital care or medical services under this section for a non-service-connected disability described in subsection (a)(2) of section 1729 of title 38, United States Code, or for a condition for which recovery is authorized or with respect to which the United States is deemed to be a third party beneficiary under Public Law 87–693, commonly known as the ‘Federal Medical Care Recovery Act’ (42 U.S.C. 2651 et seq.), the Secretary shall recover or collect from a third party (as defined in subsection (i) of such section 1729) reasonable charges for such care or services to the extent that the veteran (or the provider of the care or services) would be eligible to receive payment for such care or services from such third party if the care or services had not been furnished by a department or agency of the United States."

"Of the 28 new laws signed by Trump, two name Veterans Affairs clinics in honor of people, one adds National Vietnam War Veterans Day to the list of days people and businesses are encouraged to fly American flags, five are related to personnel matters (including the waiver allowing James Mattis to become secretary of defense), and one extends an Obama-era policy allowing veterans in some circumstances to get health care outside of the VA system."

Also, "a rule meant to protect streams from pollution, which opponents argued hurt the coal industry; and a rule requiring financial advisers to put consumers' best interests ahead of their own, which critics said would hurt retirees."

"Rounding out the 28 laws, three modify existing programs and two encourage agencies to try something new."

Sounds impressive when you put it that way, eh?

[katzpaw]

Only 28?
Obama signed 35 bills into law in the same 4 month (Jan-Apr) period in 2016.

Obama's legacy is Cash for Clunkers, everything else failed miserably.
