According to the Constitution, once a bill is presented to the President, he has 10 days (excluding Sundays) to sign it or it is void. I believe that it was presented to him on the 29th. George W took more than 10 days to sign the terror bill - so is it really even legit now?? This one issue should be enough to block it completely and make them start all over again. Does anyone know when it was officially presented to him?

(edit - forgot to give credit where credit is due - this was brought up on the local AAR)
