Question: "Trump said he'd support remote voting (by Congress)." How is that any of his business?

But now that Congress is getting to a situation where face-to-face voting could be downright dangerous, it’s possible the centuries-old practice of in-person voting could change. Three members of Congress have tested positive for the virus, and more than two dozen have gone into quarantine after brushes with it, meaning they could miss important votes on bailout packages.

On Sunday, President Trump said he’d support remote voting. Top House Democrats have privately floated it.

1. Presumably he'd have to sign a bill for it

5. No, the Senate sets its own rules.

8. It's going to require money. That means a bill

7. Separation of powers

He has no say

2. That would push his and Mitch's 'Robber Barron' bill through. nt

3. ...and I support his execution for treason?

Opinions....

4. He has nothing to do with it.

It wouldn't be changed by legislation (which includes the House) because the Senate sets its own rules and they can decide for themselves.

6. It's a formality, a photo op.

Congress still wrote the bill and approved it by vote, but the president has to officially sign it to make it into a law.

9. The president can sign a bill by autopen, I see no reason why Congress can't vote remotely

Especially during these times.

10. He's King, don't you know?

He tells Mitch what's what.

11. Right now, existing Senate rules are working in our favor, what with Rs staying home

with C-19.

12. He's made himself irrelevant due to his inaction and lies

So, as a narcissist, he's looking for way to pretend he's 'in charge' again.
