We need core requirements.  We can't have students getting Cs in Math, but As in Art.  There needs to be distinctions.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Aye

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Wasn't my amendment next to be considered, Yank?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'll happily take over for Scott.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'll assume sponsorship of this legislation.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Aye

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I have nothing else to add.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

50:30 is Friendly

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I thought you wanted to wait   50:31 is also friendly.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Friendly

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Unfriendly.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I oppose this laxing of the standards.

As do I, especially given that lack of hard standards in subjects like math and history.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Nay

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Aye

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I request a veto override.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

As an expert on our great Constitution, I must remind you that you do not have that ability.

I'm the bill's sponsor.  I can request an override.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Yeah, obviously I need to be considered with whether 60% or 80% or 100% of the Senate wants to vote for the bill instead of what the effects are. I'm here to serve you, those petty little people be damned!

Don't worry, you've made it clear you don't care on whit for the Senate, and prefer to be as obstructionist and confrontational as possible.  Sign or veto the damn bill, and use the words.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Since I cannot override the veto, I ask that the Senate approve Napoleon's redraft.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Nix, I did not know that actually.

I encourage everyone to defeat the President's alternative.  NAY!

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I haven't painted those who disagree with me at all. What I have done is point out that the very same guy wanted to keep these people in Iraq and Afghanistan says they are undeserving of citizenship and I am offended by that.

Please do not misrepresent my views like that.  I assumed sponsorship of this bill because I believe in it.  I also believe there need to be minimum standards, especially since it's easy to inflate a GPA with classes that don't actually help people contribute.

And a 2.7 is not a B average.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

FTR, I voted Nay.

And I motion to send it back to the President, so we can override his veto.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Thank you Nathan!  This is truly a great victory.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Hey, this bill is my baby.

Or at least, it was before Ben adopted it.

I am ok with exempting veterans; I'll sign on.
