Ordinarily, if two politically opposite extremist clowns agree about anything, it should be a sure sign that it's something stupid or worse. But, it turns, not always:

AOC and Matt Gaetz introduce a bipartisan bill to ban Congress members from trading individual stocks

Only Congress, not Senate?

congress, noun (initial capital letter)

  1. the national legislative body of the U.S., consisting of the Senate, or upper house, and the House of Representatives, or lower house, as a continuous institution.

Ваша ставка: прокатит/не прокатит/испоганят поправками? Я ставлю на третье.

И почему-то я не могу его найти на congress.gov, было бы интересно посмотреть весь список спонсоров.

Ah

Thank you. I keep confusing this with the lower house, likely because I often see "congressman/woman" and senator as opposed to rep.

Вот не знаю. Скорее 2, если гадать всплепую.

No way in hell that’s gonna pass. Too many assholes lining their pockets among our lawmakers.

That's my first guess, too.

Спасибо. Меняю свою ставку на "сдохнет" :)

Это уже третий подобный билл за последние пару лет. Abigail Spanberger выдвигала похожий, еще кто-то, а теперь вот мой конгрессмен подсуетился. Сдохли те, помрет и этот.

Потому, наверное, и путают. Дихотомия выглядит как senator vs congressman. Удобного и недвумысленного названия для члена палаты представителей, поди, нету?

Я путаю, американцы знают :-)

Rep. John Doe, кажется, их называют.

Всё ещё хуже. Senator is a member of Congress but not a congressman.
Why...
