A whole lot more would be required just to accomplish that.
For all the angry delusions about who's obstructing, the Republicans are the ones you'd have to force to obey. (What does it mean for your good trouble that so many talking this kind of talk choose to cast Democrats as opposing the will of the people?)
Democratic senate and house committees, in concert with the Democratic president, developed what's called the Biden Plan -- it is THEIR plan, the Democratic Party plan.
So, back to it: what would you have to do to force McConnell to instruct his senators to vote yes to everything?
Ridiculous. This is the real world, and if you came out in force it's actually probable now that the seething RW would come out in much bigger force. Because it was their time. Because they were told to. If Biden's government couldn't hold, tRump would be in the WH for dinner. And you'd be running and hiding for your lives -- except for any "good" troublemakers who joined them in an ecstasy of virtuous civic action. It may have escaped you, but some of the more zealous posters here frequently call , angrily,for criminal and anti-democracy actions against "the government." A whole lot like their angry counterparts on the right.
You've already answered, so no need. I'm just hoping you'll wonder, just for a moment: What would you have to do to force the Republicans in congress, and throw in the Democratic senators if you feel a need, to pass these two bills intact?
