With the M&Ms signaling their support to confirm it allows Collins the cover to vote no which is her only shot (if at all) to win her election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scscsc89 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 So how does adding numbers to SCOTUS work? The constitution gives the power to Congress, so both houses need to pass it but it doesn't require a presidential signature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Congress could also assess term limits to SCOTUS justices, and when their term is up, they're relegated back to one of the lower courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two different ways that it could become a law without the POTUS signing it but neither would be a realistic possibility. 1. POTUS vetos the bill, the bill gets sent back to Congress where a 2/3rds majority in both chambers can over-ride the veto 2. POTUS simply ignores the bill neither signing or vetoing it and it becomes a law after 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, just imagine the wailing by the GOP if Biden signed off on it after appearing to oppose it before the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
