Miss President wants to talk to you

"Of course we won't sit idly by and wait to die."

The person next to him also looked grim. "But are you sure you want to voice your objections today? The current situation isn't on our side."

We have just passed two bills by an overwhelming majority.

Rosef's side is riding high, and it's really stressful to voice any objections.

"Let's avoid their sharp edge today."

Someone said, "We'll figure out a way to organize a protest group later and settle the score with them!"

The Prohibition Lobbying Association has some very powerful backers.

That's the combined effect of religious forces and women's rights organizations.

This person won't just stand by and watch Prohibition be repealed.

Rosef had only just taken office and submitted three bills when she offended a number of people.

The Emergency Banking Act offended bankers and the financial community.

The Federal Expenditure Savings Act offended veterans.

The Prohibition Amendment Act offended religious figures and women's rights organizations.

At this point, some people's minds began to waver.

Rosef is taking advantage of her current popularity to cause trouble.

It's important to understand that all of this comes at a price.

Have you thought about how to handle this afterwards?

After careful consideration, Andrew understood.

"You're right, today is not the day we oppose it."

He said, "We can settle accounts with them later. I'd like to see if Rosef thinks she's some kind of superhero who can offend so many stakeholders at once."

As long as Rosef didn't manage to carry out even one part of it.

All the bills passed today must be scrapped and rewritten.

There's no need to rush.

……

The outcome of the Prohibition amendment came sooner than expected.

43: 30.

"pass."

When the speaker finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Louise breathed a sigh of relief.

so close!

On any other day, this bill would never have passed so easily.

Andrew remained expressionless.

The prohibition system did not collapse immediately; this amendment only legalized beer and low-alcohol wine.

However, the order that had lasted for more than a decade was irreversible and had begun to crumble.

After the meeting, the members of parliament left one after another.

Some were discussing the impact of the fiscal bill, some were talking about the political consequences, and others were whispering about...

"After today, Washington will not be peaceful."

Andrew stopped in the corridor.

Someone nearby asked him in a low voice:

What's the next step?

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Go back."

"go back?"

“Go and organize supporters in the state.”

His voice was calm.

"Failure in Congress is not the end."

"This is the beginning of a long war."

……

The president's three major bills have naturally caused a huge uproar.

The various forces affected by the bill have also reacted.

Less than a day after Andrew returned home, someone came to his door.

"It's you?"

The person who arrived was beyond Andrew's expectations.

The man who came was named Rogers, a professional lobbyist who lobbied on behalf of Wall Street forces.

As a member of Congress, Andrew was naturally familiar with him.

In the political tradition of the Norton Commonwealth, there is an unwritten rule.

Behind every parliament or politician, there can be many financial backers and supporters.

However, the two sides usually do not meet in person.

Instead, they use lobbyists to move between the two sides and achieve a certain degree of collusion.

So when Andrew saw lobbyist Rogers, he thought he was there to deliver some intelligence on behalf of some Wall Street tycoon.

After the two were seated, Rogers spoke.

“Mr. Andrew, I am here on behalf of Mr. Richard Morgan.”

Richard Morgan?

Andrew frowned. "Richard Morgan? Not the Morgan Group?"

That's a bit strange.

Although Richard Morgan is widely recognized as the third-generation head of the Morgan Group, he has not yet taken over the reins.

It cannot represent the entire Morgan Group.

I have no personal relationship with him, so why would he send a lobbyist over?

"Mr. Morgan would like to know your opinion on Ms. Rosef's Prohibition Adjustment Act?"

Oh?

Andrew sensed something different in those words.

"What else can I say? Of course I support it!"

He calmly stated, "The President issued this bill for the good of the country, and I have no objection to it."

"really?"

Rogers chuckled. "But the National Prohibition Enforcement Act is one of your most important political achievements; the act is even named after you."

"Madam President, you challenged this bill right from the start. Don't you really have any thoughts on this?"

Andrew remained in no hurry to respond: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Then I'll just say it directly."

Rogers didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "Mr. Richard is a devout Christian and a strong supporter of Prohibition, but the president signed the Prohibition Adjustment Act."

He was wondering if there were any flaws in this bill, or if it had been passed too hastily.

Upon hearing this, Andrew understood immediately.

It turns out that Richard Morgan wanted to oppose Rosef's bill and had come to find allies.

Although Richard kept referring to the Prohibition Adjustment Act.

But to Andrew, it all sounded like the Emergency Banking Act.

It seems that regulating banks has indeed cost Wall Street dearly.

Indeed, once the bill was passed, it became part of the legal system.

This does not mean that the die is cast.

How will the law be enforced? Can supplementary clauses be added? How should some clauses be interpreted?

These are all areas where there is room for improvement.

Andrew even knew more methods.

But the momentum is on his side now, so there's no need to rush to speak.

Seeing that Andrew was not responding, Rogers released another piece of information.

"Mr. Richard, you are willing to take some responsibility for upholding Prohibition. What do you think?"

This can be considered an active investment.

Richard's meaning was clear: I'm willing to pay to maintain Prohibition, but afterwards, you'll have to help me in Congress, especially with the banks.

Andrew thought for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject:

"I remember now, isn't today the day the President will address the nation on the radio? It seems it's about to begin."

"That's true."

Rogers was taken aback, wondering why Andrew would bring up this topic.

Let's listen to it together.
