Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Zargis]

Just a note; I feel your questions are quite valid and not lazy.... one cannot know everything and sometimes it is difficult to know where to look for specific answers.


Regarding the senate banking committee and their mark up process - from my recollection of other senate banking votes it goes similar to this:

First it generally starts with a brief summary or explanation of the bill.

Often there will be a chance for a timed series of questions if any are nesecary.

Then there will be a vote.


-regarding why democrats would vote for a failed bill? I'm not sure they will. That is dependant on their values and if it seems a worthy battle to be known for. I would suspect that those opposed will remain so and if the bill does pass the majority vote (which I believe is an 11 requirement) I will be surprised.

Senators may squabble and act brain dead but they are smart enough to know most bills are dead if it's writer leaves. I.e. crapo.

Sadly, I have no time to comment beyond this.

Be well,
