what makes a "bill" something he can't have emailed to him and signed where he is? obviously something, because Bush had guys flying them around, but can't there be separate signature pages?

adder, I'm sorry for the late notice, but we'll need you to stay home tonight and research this.

No problem. I mean, it's not like he had plans.

I didn't read it, but here's a long office of legal counsel opinion on having someone else sign on the prez's behalf. A quick scan suggests it doesn't directly answer your question though.

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't a GP at your firm something this full of holes. How much time before you can get us an answer?

You don't insist on a classic retainer? You're a generous soul.

I may turn down the nomination, if it comes.

or, alternatively, I may only accept if Ty is given a seat too, so I have a dull foil to attack in my decisions. We will see how it plays out.
