The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 204: Contradictions
Coffey was explaining things to Xiong En at this time.

"Remember, this is the parliament, Xiong En. I don't care how unpleasant their words are. You must listen to them patiently, okay?"

Xiong En said carelessly: "Of course I know Kofi, we are brothers."

Seeing Xiong En like this, Kofi couldn't help but say, "Do you know how many people here are not your brothers, Xiong En?! Do you know how many people here are against you?"

"Of course I do, but they are definitely not the majority."

"No, they are the majority. Even your brothers will make things difficult for you in this meeting. You must be prepared for this."

"How is that possible? Don't they want to make money?"

"I won't talk about how they make money, but don't forget Xiong En. Politicians want to make money, but they also want to gain fame. So, they may support you when voting, but they may not support you when speaking. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I know. You've said it many times, I remember it." Xiong En waved his hand: "Okay, the meeting has to start. Wait for my good news, Kofi."

"Eh"

Kofi wanted to explain something, but Xiong En had already walked into the venue. This guy is really strong.

A voice sounded from behind Coffey; "It seems that he is still giving you a lot of trouble."

Kofi was stunned. He turned around and saw Xiunuo and Jonas. He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

Jonas exclaimed, "Come and witness history."

Kofi pointed inside: "Okay, I won't tell you how you got in. You heard what Xiong En said just now."

"Of course." Xiuno said, "Are you worried that he will threaten those senators in the Senate?"

Kofi gritted his teeth and said, "Believe me, he has a criminal record! And he has always done this! Others think he is a genius, but Xiu, you and I, we all know that this guy is just a fool! His brain is in a Schrödinger state!"

"Are you worried that he might do something wrong?" Xiunuo asked.

"No, it's just that this kid has no idea in his head right now." Coffey found a place to sit down nearby. He took a look, and Will nodded and took people to guard the door.

"No one will notice that we've been here." Xiuno reassured Kofi: "Don't worry."

Kofi looked at Xiunuo and said, "Xiu, you should know the essential difference between the two houses, right?"

"more or less."

"Well, then I said that the passage of a bill requires the consent of both houses and the consent of the executive branch. But in fact, there are many bills that will not be passed by the Senate after being passed by the House of Representatives, because the House of Representatives actually pays more attention to the interests of the state. They will propose many proposals that are beneficial to the state, and even proposals that simply benefit their own party."

Xiu Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "I thought Xiong En had already solved this problem."

"He just found one solution, but definitely not all of them, because there is a fundamental difference and difference of interests between the state Senate and the House of Representatives."

"What do you mean?"

"Congress." Coffey explained. "Each state has two seats in the Senate, and the House of Representatives is based on population. Each state has one seat for every 75 people. So, do you see the difference?"

"Does one side actually have greater rights? Or is it better unified?"

"That's one aspect, but more importantly, let me put it bluntly, the target of members of the House of Representatives is the governor of their state, while members of the Senate, their target is actually the position of the president."

Xiu Nuo asked curiously, "Isn't this normal? What's the problem?"

"It's a conflict of interest. Many of the policies proposed by the House of Representatives are good for the state, but these policies may not be so good for the whole country. But the president won't just need votes from the state, he'll need to look at votes from the whole country." "If people in the Senate openly support Xiong En, the price they'll pay is that they won't get nearly one-third of the votes in the future. That's their concern."

"So, even if these people support Xiong En in their hearts, they will definitely do everything they can to express in the debate before the vote that 'I don't actually support' this idea. Even if the vote is passed in the end, it will be that unfortunately I can't change anything."

"See, Xiu? The essence of this matter is not whether this bill will pass, but Xiong En's performance. But you know this guy's character. He is too impulsive. If he gets asked anxiously and says something like 'I will send your whole family to Mexico', then it's all over! No matter how well he prepares privately, this thing will not pass."

Xiu Nuo smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, many people have obtained the certificates."

Kofi said quietly, "This proposal is not just for Xiong En."

Xiunuo was slightly startled.

Kofi looked towards the conference room over there: "Do you understand, Xiu? That kid hasn't seen what a real politician is like."

At this time, at the meeting.

Xiong En sat in his seat, and behind him were seats occupied by many senators.

At this time, the Speaker sitting in the first seat looked at Xiong En with a bit of disgust.

When Xiong En was about to run for election, it was this person who reminded many people to end that ridiculous farce as soon as possible.

But the result
The best time to suppress it was turned into publicity for this Bear En Bazel because of someone hired by some idiots.

Now, this guy was originally going to be a Los Angeles council member, but now he is a member of the California State Assembly.

When almost everyone was present, the Speaker had regained his previous expression. He looked at everyone and his gaze finally fell on Xiong En.

"Welcome our MP Mr. Xiongen Bazel, thank you very much"

The standard opening remarks made Xiong En a little impatient.

This old man has been talking for ten minutes! When will he get to the point?

Fortunately, the speaker finally completed the process: "We all know that you have been giving a lot of speeches, speeches based on making life better for the people. The Senate has also seriously considered your proposal, but before the resolution, I believe that many colleagues must have many questions about this proposal that need to be understood. So, Xiong En, you need to help us solve some doubts about this bill next."

Xiong En cleared his throat, then nodded and said, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Speaker."

"Well first, I would like to give you the honor of introducing one of our very distinguished members, Councillor Roland Stanley."

Xiong En was stunned. He didn't expect that the first person to speak would be Roland.

Isn’t this the congressman that my family sponsored?
After all, they are all family!

However, what Xiong En didn't know was that after his speech, the first wave of people who took to the streets to protest were those hired by Roland Stanley. It's just that he spent $100,000, but who knows how much was left in the hands of those people.

Not to mention, Xiu Nuo happened to be there at the time, turning a protest march into a debate among great scholars.

Roland Stanley cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your speech just now."

Then he looked at Xiong En.

Roland found it funny to see Xiong En looking at him with a simple smile on his face.

This kid is still so stupid.
