"Never mind, let's discuss this later."

Louise made a decision: "This kind of state visit can't be resolved in a day or two. It will take a month or two to discuss it. Let's not talk about it for now."

"Eleanor, is there something you need today?"

She had already seen the document that Eleanor was holding.

Eleanor placed the documents she was holding on the table.

"There is indeed something wrong."

Louise looked down.

On the cover, three words were clearly written.

Banking Law.

Louise's previously calm expression suddenly underwent a subtle change.

She knew, of course, that Eleanor and Woodin had previously discussed bank reforms.

But she originally thought it was at most a draft regulation on the separation of commercial banks and investment banks.

Now, looking at the thickness...

This hardly resembles a regulatory draft.

This is practically like taking the entire financial system apart and putting it back together.

What an enormous amount of work this is!

Eleanor actually delivered a finished product in just a few days?

Rosef also peeked over.

"The Banking Act?"

She blinked. "That sounds amazing."

Louise ignored the white hamster and turned directly to the first page.

She reads very quickly.

At first, he just frowned.

As I read the second chapter, my brows furrowed even more deeply.

When she reached the third chapter, she sat up straight.

When she read the fourth chapter, her expression completely changed.

The office fell silent.

The only sound was the turning of pages.

Rosef looked left and right, and gradually sensed that something was wrong.

Louise?

Louise did not answer.

She continued scrolling down.

The more he looked, the more complicated his expression became.

In the end, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"How ruthless."

She said in a low voice.

Rosef immediately tensed up.

Is it bad?

"Do not."

Louise looked up, her eyes shining brightly.

"It's too good!"

Based on Louise's understanding of Woodin, he has always been a conciliator.

It's impossible to have such a beastly mentality when facing a banker.

unless

Louise suddenly understood everything.

She looked at Eleanor: "You taught Woodin to write this bill, didn't you?"

"Uh……"

Eleanor thought for a moment and said, "I only gave an outline; the main content was written by Mr. Woodin."

The old man was almost worn out by his own efforts, and Eleanor didn't want to steal his credit.

Louise shook her head.

"No!"

She said, "Your outline is the most important thing. Wu Ding wouldn't dare to come up with it on his own!"

Chapter 54: The Second Congress

Louise has always thought highly of Eleanor.

In particular, the new Banking Law perfectly aligns with the goals of the new policy.

Louise flipped through a few more pages, becoming more and more satisfied with what she read.

Little Ai is indeed quite something.

After a long while, she reluctantly closed the document.

"I will draft a special message as soon as possible and submit this bill to Congress."

Louise said, "But this bill definitely won't pass on the first try, so you should be prepared."

Although she herself is very positive about the Banking Act, she has to admit that...

That's a bit too radical.

Many lawmakers cannot accept this.

"Can't it be approved?"

Rosef didn't understand. She asked in confusion, "If it can't pass, why submit it again?"

Isn't this just a waste of effort?

"That's precisely why we need to hand it in quickly, because we know it won't pass!"

Louise smiled. "First, we'll hold a vote in Congress. The final vote count will determine how much the members of Congress accept the draft bill."

"Then, we can also find out who is in favor and who is against."

"Only after we understand this intelligence can we proceed with our work."

To test the waters.

This is why Louise wanted to submit the bill as soon as possible.

……

the next day.

The parliamentary session is in session.

Because the president had already made a statement in the previous press conference.

Therefore, the judicial authorities first proposed two draft amendments.

Amendments to the Federal Search Procedures Act.

Amendments to the Foreign Espionage Law.

Everyone knows the truth.

Both amendments have only one purpose: to expand the FBI's authority to investigate a range of espionage activities within the federal government.

Many lawmakers are unwilling to see this.

They genuinely disliked the Bureau of Investigation, viewing it as the federal secret police.

Similar to the Cheka of Red Rossia.

Political persecution, arrests without trial, state terror...

A series of unpleasant terms came to mind for the lawmakers.

terrible!

If this bill passes, the federal government will eventually have its own Lubyanka.

However, the lawmakers were disgusted.

However, they dared not stand up and publicly oppose it at this time.

After all, the incident at St. Joseph's Cathedral has only just passed.

It is an indisputable fact that foreign-made weapons were found at the scene.

If you don't let the FBI fight spies, are you supposed to do it yourself?

Therefore, although there was opposition in Congress, it did not gain momentum.

The two amendments were passed by vote against their actual implementation.

When the results came out, Edgar, who was sitting in the audience, grinned from ear to ear.

I'm going to soar to the sky!
