"Madam Vice President makes sense..."
Windsor also instantly felt that what Katherine had done was right and subsequently opened the car door and got out.
Upon seeing the two of them exit the car one after the other, the dia reporters at the entrance to Parliant House imdiately sward around them.
"Madam Vice President, as the presiding officer of the Senate, and with this bill at such a critical juncture, who will you cast this decisive vote for?"
"Madam Vice President, the Senate vote has resulted in a tie, and now the decision rests in your hands. What will you do?"
"Madam Vice President..."
"..."
Faced with the dia's frenzied questioning, Katherine had no intention of answering and entered Parliant House surrounded by her Secret Service detail.
Senate.
Upon Katherine's arrival, the Senators present were instantly on edge.
Whether it was Raglen and other proponents or Grace and the opposition, their fists were clenched tight at this mont.
Not minding the gazes of those around her, Katherine went to the podium and said, "Hello everyone, I am Arica's Vice President and the presiding officer of the Senate, Katherine."
"Regarding the tax evasion legislation, I have always been paying attention to it, and I am honored to now make the final decision..."
Katherine naturally wouldn't waste such an opportunity to shine in public, and she spoke for over half an hour.
Since she was the Vice President and the presiding officer of the Senate, her status was relatively eminent, so even though many people were growing impatient, no one dared to interrupt or raise any questions.
It wasn't until nearly 50 minutes later that the situation finally reached its climax!
"I know everyone is curious whether I support or oppose this bill. So, let us vote!"
As she finished speaking, Raglen and others exchanged glances but eventually raised their arms.
In no ti, the proponent Senators raised their hands to vote; it was neither more nor less, exactly 50 votes as before.
Seeing this, all eyes in the room turned to Katherine once more.
Katherine scanned the Senators present and finally raised her palm, saying, "I support this bill passing the Senate!"
Buzz!!!
Katherine's statent, like a bomb, made the eardrums of all the Senators present buzz.
But soon, the rejoicing proponent Senators, like Raglen, embraced each other and shouted in celebration.
As a Senator, he shouldn't have acted so undignified.
But the bill was too high-profile, and most importantly, it was about his future prospects.
Now that it had passed both the Senate and House of Representatives, his reputation and political capital this ti were certainly made!
Aside from proponent Senators like Raglen, at the sa ti, the entire staff at the Internal Revenue Service Headquarters was also ecstatic.
Even Donald and Welton Heng, the two titans, showed a rare lapse in composure at this ti.
For the Internal Revenue Service, this bill was definitely a milestone. If it could truly be implented under their leadership, they would inevitably be rembered by countless people.
After they stepped down, their nas would certainly have a prominent place on the IRS's wall of historical contributions.
"It looks like Vice President Katherine has made the right choice!"
"Yes, Chief, but all this, Inspector David deserves great credit!"
Hearing Donald's words, Obadiah also ca to his senses and turned to look at David, "David, the passage of this bill through both chambers is a trendous achievent thanks to you!"
"Chief, although it's a cause for celebration that it's passed through both chambers, it's not ti to finalize everything yet; we still have much to do..."
David, of course, was also exhilarated that the bill had passed both chambers.
But after all, the final step was missing: the President's signature to enact it!
And next, their focus wouldn't be on the congressional chambers any longer, but on a face-to-face confrontation with the White House; this would require their utmost effort!
"Donald is right, the real challenge may yet to co..."
Donald put away his excitent and his gaze grew profound.
At the sa ti, on Senado Island.
"Fuck, fuck! How could this damned bitch approve of the bill, who the fuck can tell !"
"We've already promised her support for 28 years to beco President, isn't this damned bitch satisfied, what more does she want?"
"Damn it, why did she vote in favor, why the hell is that?"
Countless Freemasonry mbers were nearly driven mad.
What were all their finances and manpower expended for?
To stop this bill from passing both chambers!
And now, after putting in so much, they still couldn't prevent the bill from being passed.
What was it like to 'lose the lady and fold the soldiers'?
This was exactly it!
"Everyone, calm down. Although the bill has now passed through both chambers, it has not yet beco law. To succeed, the bill must be signed by the President. We have not lost yet!"
With the bill passing both the Senate and House, Joshua would have to take a lot of responsibility since Henrietta had given him a lot of authority to deal with this matter.
Thus, he quickly tried to divert the topic to avoid the wrath of the crowd.
