Bills become law without Trump signature as Congress uses pro forma sessions
Original: As Congress leans on ‘pro formas,’ bills become law without Trump signature
Congress is making increased use of 'pro forma' sessions, short procedural sessions that allow bills to become law without President Trump's signature. Under the practice, measures can take effect automatically after a set period if the president does not sign them, and lawmakers are leaning on the mechanism to pass legislation while sidestepping presidential action.
Why now: The procedural workaround raises questions about presidential power over legislation, making it a talking point in US politics.
