American Tax Officer

Chapter 758: Chapter 380: The Work of the Senate

Internal Revenue Service Headquarters.

The matter at the House of Congressman had been settled, and after everyone had calmed down, Obadiah sent everyone away, leaving only David and Donald in the conference room.

“David, the way things are going, even if we manage to get through both houses, it’s very difficult to secure two-thirds of the votes,” Obadiah said, “This is something we need to consider now. What are your plans for that?”

As stated before, David had been tirelessly working day and night on this bill.

Therefore, it wasn’t easy for the two to inquire further, let alone know what other plans David might have.

But now, since the bill had already passed the House of Congressman, they needed to know more about the base details.

...

“We may not need to secure two-thirds of the votes…”

“If you don’t secure two-thirds of the votes, then you need to make sure the President will sign it willingly, but if The Big Three Groups exert pressure, the White House might not be able to withstand it…”

Obadiah had just started to continue when he suddenly seemed to think of something, paused, and then changed his train of thought, “Are you suggesting that you plan to do something to the President?”

He had actually guessed this before, and now, seeing David’s demeanor, he was even more certain.

“That depends on him!”

David did not give a clear answer, but both Obadiah and Donald understood.

It seemed that David indeed had this intention.

However, the President had judicial immunity, so if it really came to the point where they had to act, the only option would be to initiate impeachment proceedings.

But to impeach the President!

And the President of the United States is arguably the most powerful person in the world, without a doubt!

To actually initiate impeachment proceedings would create a massive sensation!

But going back to the matter at hand, if it came to that point, to get this bill passed, that really might be the only way possible.

After all, obtaining two-thirds of the votes was indeed too difficult.

“Alright, handle it as you see fit, you know, whatever you do, we will fully support you!”

Obadiah was well aware that this bill had made it this far, even passing the House of Congressman, was all thanks to David’s efforts.

So even if David intended to undertake something as significant as impeaching the President, they could only continue to support him.

Because at this step, it was no longer just about whether the bill could pass or not, since a failure would inevitably result in a reckoning from all American capitalists.

Only by successfully legislating this bill could they maintain the IRS’s status without being shaken!

So, before they decided to launch this bill, there was no turning back. Either they succeed, and the IRS’s influence would rise to an unprecedented state, or they fail, and the IRS would face cuts in power!

There was no third option.

“I understand, Chief!”

…

Following its passage in the House of Congressman, the offshore tax evasion bill, according to procedure, required 5 to 7 days of review before voting could commence in the Senate.

Thus, in this period, it would be critical for both The Big Three Groups and the IRS.

Given the defeat in the House of Congressman, The Big Three Groups, of course, made several preparations for what was to come.

Everyone was clear that the next few days would be of utmost importance, and everyone needed to do their utmost to secure more votes from the senators.

Of course, securing more votes from the senators necessitated spending money.

Following the call from the senior management of The Big Three Groups, they decided to allocate an additional 10 billion US Dollars for operations over the next three days.

While The Big Three Groups were fervently making preparations, David naturally wasn’t idle either.

He first informed Elvis and Gavin to ensure that all senators were under surveillance to see which ones showed signs of vacillation or betrayal during this period, and to report to him immediately.

Additionally, he contacted the three major families from Texas and other influential families from various states to come to Washington D.C. for discussions.

The venue for this meeting was still the George Kimpton Hotel, where they had held the dinner the previous night.

The next evening, at seven o’clock.

The George Kimpton Hotel was brightly lit, but other than security personnel and waitstaff, no other guests were visible.

This was naturally David’s arrangement, as such an important meeting was best held privately.

Soon, a sedan arrived at the hotel entrance.

The car door opened, and Beisemai from Texas was the first to step down, followed closely by Charlie and Goda.

Subsequently, other families from various states and the senators themselves arrived at the scene, and many greeted and conversed with one another.

However, shortly after, with the arrival of Elvis and his group, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him.

By now, everyone knew that this head of CIA intelligence was David’s man.

The presence of such a person naturally made those in attendance a bit wary, fearing they might be targeted.

“Hmph, who would have thought David would call this spy chief here too? Is this a warning to us?”
