Miss President wants to talk to you

What am I hiding?

Eleanor frowned and glanced at the nameplate on the senator's seat.

Kahn-Houghton, right?

“Mr. Horton, you might as well put it more bluntly.”

"Okay, I'll put it more bluntly!"

Horton gritted his teeth, "You're clearly a hidden Luckey, a Bolshevik spy! You've introduced this bill to infringe upon the democratic freedoms of the Union!"

"free?"

Eleanor retorted, "You mean, banks can freely take depositors' money and invest it, and that's called freedom? The federal government is going to protect that kind of freedom?"

"Stop rambling!"

Horton retorted angrily, "We're talking about you now, about your stance!"

With those words, Horton's attitude was quite clear.

He had no intention of discussing whether the bill was right or wrong; he only attacked the bill's proposer.

If he can make others doubt Eleanor himself, then his entire bill will be subject to the same doubt.

Horton is quite adept at this tactic.

We are confident that we can win in one strike.

However, he did not expect that Eleanor's momentum was even stronger than his.

"Kahn Horton!"

Eleanor shouted, "This bill was reviewed and approved by the President. What are you up to by attacking my stance on proposing the bill?"

"Are you trying to attack me, or are you trying to attack the President?!"

"answer me!"

The saying goes that only magic can defeat magic.

If Horton questions Eleanor's position, then Eleanor can certainly question his position in return.

Upon realizing that their meaning had been misinterpreted.

Horton instinctively explained, "I didn't attack the president..."

"Who is attacking the president?"

Eleanor gave him no chance at all, "Tell me that person's name!"

"I I I..."

Horton paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong.

Damn it, Eleanor is just spouting nonsense!

Who said anyone was going to attack the president?

Horton wanted to retaliate.

However, he did not expect that just that momentary pause had irrevocably weakened his aura in the eyes of everyone.

His methods were dishonorable to begin with, and as a result, he not only failed to win but also ended up in such a sorry state.

A low chuckle rippled through the Capitol.

Horton's face turned pale and then flushed.

He originally wanted to label Eleanor a Bolshevik spy, but Eleanor turned the tables and accused him of attacking the president.

This hat is too big.

He dared not accept it.

Having achieved her goal, Eleanor stopped chasing after him.

Because it is not necessary.

Having achieved his goal, the situation had calmed down, and people could finally listen to what he had to say.

He looked back at the council chamber and slowly began to speak:

"Gentlemen, the submission of the Banking Act is the result of the President's careful consideration."

"The president does not want to deny the credit of the banks. We acknowledge that the banks played an indispensable role in the vibrant and thriving scene of the Roaring Twenties."

"But what will be the price?"

"What has been the result of the unchecked and uncontrolled economic growth? And who has been harmed?"

"The Great Depression is far from over!"

"Have we forgotten the suffering of voters in the fifty states?"

"Reorganizing the current banking system will indeed cause pain for many people, but please think about it carefully."

"Which is more important, the interests of the banks or the interests of the voters?"

Eleanor truly meant what she said.

He doesn't expect to convince the opposition with these words; that's a fairy tale.

That's enough if it can shake the minds of the centrists.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, some centrist members of parliament began to applaud.

The applause was not uniform.

But it was jarring enough.

The opposition's expressions darkened further.

Because they realized that continuing to attack Eleanor himself was pointless.

This kid is too good at beating around the bush.

When you talk about political stances, he talks about the president.

You talk about the First Lady, and he talks about the banking crisis;

When you talk about the banking crisis, he talks about the interests of voters.

In short, Eleanor always puts herself on the side of justice.

Horton knew there was nothing he could do.

I could only grit my teeth and sit back down.

But soon, another older member of parliament stood up.

His aura was completely different from Horton's; he possessed the shrewdness and ruthlessness of a traditional politician.

“Mr. Speaker.”

He didn't bother arguing with Eleanor at all, but simply looked at the Speaker and spoke.

“I request that the draft Banking Act be returned to the Banking Committee.”

They arrived as expected.

Eleanor thought to herself, this is the real counterattack.

Let's not discuss anything, let's just proceed with the procedures.

The congressman continued:

"The Banking Law involves a very wide range of issues, and such an important bill should not be hastily reviewed today."

“I request the Treasury to submit a full explanation and for the Banking Committee to hold a separate hearing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the opposition immediately echoed his sentiments.

"agree!"

"Return to the committee!"

"This is not an emergency bill; it cannot be forced through!"

"Congress is not a rubber stamp for the White House!"

A dozen minutes later, the procedural motion went to a vote.

Whether to return the Banking Act to the Banking Commission for further review.

The results came out quickly.

Those in favor of returning the item were in the majority.

The Banking Law failed to enter the fast-track review process.

The speaker struck the gavel.

"The draft Banking Law has been returned to the Banking Committee."

The meeting yielded no results.

……

evening.

Morgan Group.

Richard Morgan slammed the newspaper on the table.

The Treasury Department submits a banking bill, suggesting the president may restructure the federal financial system.

Angelo Rogers stood in front of the table, his face grim.

Richard stared at him coldly.

"Is this what you meant by Hopkins not being able to find out who's behind this?"

Who are you kidding!

With the spellcasting attempt failing, Eleanor immediately began targeting the bank.
