The vote may happen next week, even though the congressional review period for the law has expired.
Congress vote to block a second consecutive criminal justice bill — Biden veto or not — could serve as a significant rebuke against the deep-blue city’s policies as city leaders continue to press for statehood. D.C. disapproval resolutions rarely make it to the House or Senate floor — yet this year three have passed in the House and one of those, rejecting, passed both chambers and was signed by Biden, after the Biden administration initially indicated he opposed the move to reject the code.
Republicans sought guidance from the Senate parliamentarian, who, according to congressional and D.C. government staffers, offered guidance giving Republicans clearance to move forward. The guidance surprised longtime D.C. home rule experts and local officials, who until now did not see this as a possibility because it has not happened before with D.C.-specific legislation.
the law — which he said could be the case with the D.C. Home Rule Act’s 60-day deadline — senators can debate whether the vote should proceed.“I think there are valid questions about the legal effect and whether or not this would hold up if challenged in court, given the fact the Senate would have acted outside the Home Rule Act’s pretty clear timeline,” Thorning said — noting, of course, that this question would only arise if the disapproval resolution becomes law.
