Ready for this post, saying it will be the president s number one foreignpolicy achievement. But it said the white house remains confident that if Congress Rejects the deal, the president could be to the action and continue to move forward. That is what i was talking about. It would require 34 votes for him to go forward. Is he getting that . I think it is going to be a hard sell. He knows that the resolution of this approval is likely to be introduced is not likely to pass is very likely to pass. If he vetoes that in order to sustain the veto, he would need 34 votes. Which is what i was referring to earlier. I think it is going to be a hard sell. A hard sell. Cspan gives you the best access to congress. Live coverage of the u. S.

Have acceded to the southern demands that they be a separate country, and if lincoln had gone along with the congressional reconstruction, would the radicals have done to him at least in modified form what they did to johnson . Is. Let me just say one thing thatll connect baseball to lincoln. [laughter] yes, i can do that. In the election of 1860, theres a wonderful political cartoon that shows Lincoln Holding a bat and the other three candidates holding balls, and its using baseball as a metaphor for which candidate should be elected.

They all came from the southern part of Shenandoah Valley. As you all know, those five immortality in
