American tax officials

Chapter 382 bill passed the House of Representatives

Suddenly, the IRS executives snapped out of their daze and turned their attention to David.

It's impossible that Amy suddenly went crazy, so the only conclusion is that David must have done something to him to make him make this decision!

"Inspector David, you didn't tell us about Amy. We've been kept in the dark for so long."

"Director, I did talk to her, but at first she was very tough, and I wasn't sure I could get her to side with us. But thankfully she came to her senses."

In fact, everyone's guess was correct.

After the bill received its current legislative code, David took some time to "talk" to Amy.

Although this person's influence is not as great as that of figures like Nancy or Josh, as the House Minority Leader, his influence is absolutely not to be underestimated.

If we can also win over this person, and get some of his confidants to defect as well, our chances of victory will increase significantly.

David's work then began.

First, they used the system's functions to investigate her, and luckily, they did manage to uncover some dirt on her.

However, the minority leader initially took a tough stance and showed no intention of yielding to David.

After David's threats and inducements failed, he had no other choice but to tell her to think it over carefully and make the right decision so as not to regret it for the rest of her life.

As time went on, there was still no news from this minority leader, and David assumed that the other party would not give in and was determined to fight to the end, so he did not count him in the official vote count.

Surprisingly, at this critical juncture, the majority party leader chose to yield, which is quite a pleasant surprise!

Now let's talk about the House of Representatives.

By this time, Nanxi had recovered from her shock. She glared fiercely at Amy and demanded, "Congressman Amy, I want to confirm with you whether you pressed the wrong button? If so, there's still a chance to correct it!"

Under such intense scrutiny, Amy's expression shifted slightly, but she ultimately steeled herself and replied, "Speaker Nancy, I didn't press the wrong button; I cast the yes vote!"

She knew David had enough dirt on her to ruin her reputation, but during their last conversation, she remained defiant, refusing to believe the bill would pass.

If the bill doesn't pass, David and the IRS will face the risk of being liquidated. They'll be in trouble themselves, so how can they possibly deal with her?

Unexpectedly, the situation has developed to the point where the bill is only 4 votes away from passing the House of Representatives.

If the bill passes, the three major corporations will suffer a major blow, while the IRS will gain momentum.

Therefore, she was forced to make this choice by the circumstances.

Because if she didn't make this decision, and the bill passed the House of Representatives, David, given his personality, would definitely hold her accountable.

"Okay, okay!"

Nanxi's eyes were practically spitting fire. If this weren't happening in front of the whole world, she would have already unleashed a torrent of fury and shown Amy why the flowers were so red!

Despite her anger, there was one thing she couldn't understand.

Amy is a close Freemason senator, and she had repeatedly assured everyone that she would stop the bill from passing. How could she now risk such public condemnation and cast her vote in favor in front of the whole world?

This is practically tantamount to slapping those who oppose the bill in the face in front of the whole world!

Before Nanxi could figure this out, the chain reaction caused by Amy began.

As many predicted, Amy, as the House Minority Leader, led her two supporters to vote in favor of the nomination, following her lead in surrendering.

In an instant, the number of votes in favor of the bill reached 217, just one vote away from passing.

"Fuck you!"

"Bitch, that damn bitch!"

"I'm going to kill her!"

Now, despair gripped Nancy, the three major corporations, and capitalists across America.

There are still more than a dozen members of parliament who have not yet voted. Unless all of these members of parliament vote against the bill, it is impossible to guarantee that the bill will fail.

But such an outcome only exists in wishful thinking; how could it possibly happen?

The bill is just one vote away from passing the House of Representatives; surely at least one of the remaining members will vote in favor.

Because this final, decisive vote is attracting global attention, there must be some swing voters who want to steal the spotlight!

And what happened next was exactly as the three major groups had predicted.

After the vote count reached 217, several members of their camp quickly cast a few more opposing votes, bringing the total number of opposing votes to 210.

But in the end, it was too late; a legislator from Alabama cast the 218th vote in favor.

With 218 votes in favor, the bill on tax avoidance in other states has passed the House of Representatives.

But that wasn't all. Four more members of parliament added fuel to the fire, raising the number of votes in favor to 222.

The person who was most fortunate at this moment was Amy, who had just betrayed them.

The results are now in, proving that even if she hadn't voted, the bill would have passed with enough votes, which confirms that her previous choice was correct.

Now, she not only fulfilled her agreement with David and avoided being purged, but she also had a reason to explain herself to the Freemasons.

"Great! The bill passed!"

"Hahaha, I was convinced this bill would pass, and sure enough, it did!"

"A bill that benefits us ordinary people so much should be passed!"

"222 votes in favor, this is a very good start!"

Upon seeing this result, ordinary citizens who supported the bill were overjoyed.

After all, if this bill is passed, they will be the biggest beneficiaries in the future!

Meanwhile, on Senado Island...

At this moment, the faces of all the Freemasons were extremely grim.

After a long pause, one member gritted his teeth and cursed, "Nancy is incompetent, and Amy is a damn bitch! They're all a bunch of fucking bitches!"

"That damn Nancy, that damn Amy! We entrusted them with so much funding and resources to stabilize the situation, and yet this bill still passed! What the hell?!"

"Those two incompetent bitches, I'm going to kill them!"

"..."

As soon as this member spoke, the anger of the others was ignited.

Since the tax avoidance law was announced, they haven't had a single good night's sleep.

Under Henrietta's call, everyone became acutely aware of the harm this bill would cause them, and they contributed money and effort as needed.

Despite all that effort, they ultimately failed to prevent the bill from passing in the House of Representatives.

No wonder they were furious.

Hearing so many people hurl insults at her, Henrietta's face turned bright red.

As the head of the Freemason group, he personally directed and planned all these actions, but unexpectedly, he still failed to prevent the bill from passing the House of Representatives.

He definitely has to take the blame for this!

Besides the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Unsharp Group, and capitalists across America were also venting their frustrations and grievances.

But as the saying goes, for every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.

State Administration of Taxation.

"Nice, very nice!"

"Persistence pays off! Our bill has finally passed!"

"Not only did it pass, but it also got more votes than our previous black tax bill! That's fantastic!"

"Hahaha, the three major corporations have schemed and plotted, but they still couldn't stop our bill from passing the House of Representatives. They've really lost everything!"

The high-ranking officials laughed, high-fived, and hugged each other to celebrate the passage of the bill.

The original tax bill was repeatedly initiated and shelved by Congress, then revised and reintroduced, consuming countless resources and time of the IRS before finally passing the House of Representatives.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly difficult off-site tax avoidance bill passed on its first attempt, with the number of votes exceeding the limit by 4. This is truly a happy thing.

However, although everyone was excited, they were also well aware of the situation.

David deserves the most credit for the bill's successful passage through the House of Representatives, overcoming numerous obstacles!

Thinking of this, many high-ranking officials turned their attention to David, wanting to praise him.

But then they realized that, unlike the ecstatic crowd, David was not only quiet, but his expression seemed to be shifting as if he were thinking about something.

Upon seeing this, Vertonghen couldn't help but ask, "What is it, Inspector General David?"

"It only passed in the House of Representatives; it's nothing to be happy about yet!"

Upon hearing this, the executives were stunned, but their initial elation quickly subsided.

In order to prevent the passage of this bill, the three major corporations have sent Speaker of the House Nancy and spent tens of billions of dollars in various states, making quite a show of force.

Therefore, when this bill overcame numerous difficulties and shattered the obstruction of the three major groups, everyone became somewhat excited and carried away.

But now, thinking about it calmly, David was right.

In the United States, for a bill to succeed, simply passing the House of Representatives is not enough.

After passing the House of Representatives, it still needs to pass the Senate.

Even if it passes the Senate, it still needs the president's signature.

Now, only the first of the three challenges has been completed, which, as David said, is not something to be too happy about!

After all, there are many examples of bills that have passed the House of Representatives only to be rejected by the Senate.

Who dares to say that their current bill won't be rejected by the Senate or get stuck at the presidential signature stage?

"Inspector General David is right, let's all calm down. On the surface, this bill has passed the House of Representatives, and with 222 votes at that, but in reality, we're still in a very passive position!"

"222 votes, that's still a long way from the two-thirds majority needed for the bill to pass. Perhaps we need to reconsider this issue!"

Obadiah's mention of a two-thirds majority certainly implies that he is prepared for the president to refuse to sign.

The bill has already passed the House of Representatives, so the three major groups will definitely focus their efforts on the Senate. Once the Senate also passes it, they will only be able to hold onto the presidency.

Therefore, if it really comes to that point, the three major groups will definitely do everything in their power to prevent Paden from signing.

Therefore, only by obtaining a two-thirds majority vote in Congress can they forcefully bypass the president's signature!

Upon hearing Obadiah's words, the expressions of the executives present immediately darkened.

The 222 votes they have obtained so far have already taken a tremendous amount of effort. As for obtaining two-thirds of the votes in both houses, the difficulty is unimaginable.

……

Now let's talk about Congress.

After a period of adjustment, Nanxi, whose heart was in turmoil, has finally calmed down.

She certainly bears responsibility for the bill's passage in the House of Representatives under her control, but now that it's a done deal, there's no point in saying anything more.

Moreover, she also realized that although the bill had passed the House of Representatives, it still had to pass the Senate and the President.

With these two major hurdles in place, there's still a good chance of stopping this bill.

"The votes for the off-site tax avoidance bill are 222, and the votes against it are 213. I hereby declare the off-site tax avoidance bill officially passed by the House of Representatives and will now be transferred to the Senate!"

Although reluctant, as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, with the results already presented, Nansi naturally had no choice but to reluctantly announce them.

As soon as she made this announcement, Church and other members of parliament present cheered.

Although they were well aware that there were still two major hurdles ahead, and that they could no longer interfere in these two hurdles.

But in any case, it passed the House of Representatives with their support, so it's normal for these members of Congress to cheer and vent their frustrations.

……

The passage of the off-site tax avoidance bill has elicited mixed reactions from various parties.

At first, the three major groups were furious, but they quickly calmed down. After all, the die was cast, and no amount of anger would change anything.

However, they still have a chance to turn things around!

For the IRS and the Kennedy family, this was a partial victory, so they were quite pleased.

"Hello viewers, today the House of Representatives officially passed the off-site tax avoidance bill with a vote of 222. It will now be transferred to the Senate. Please stay tuned to our station and let's see what happens next..."

For major media outlets, such a bombshell announcement was naturally a cause for celebration.
