Chapter 82: A Scene That Seems to Be Off
In this world.
All U.S. policy and regulatory proposals are drafted and passed by the House of Representatives, and then submitted to the Senate for review.
The Senate can only vote to pass or not to pass, but it cannot amend proposals.
The president has the right to reject the proposal with one vote.
Therefore, this "mutant registration bill" was organized by Congressman Kelly, a member of the House of Representatives, and drafted and finalized, and then submitted to the Senate for review.
When the Senate deliberates, it is usually a member of the House of Representatives who comes forward to debate it, so that the members of the Senate agree with the proposal and then vote for it.
The Senate has a permanent membership of 100 members, and a bill can only be passed by a two-thirds majority, or at least 67 votes in favor.
The president, in turn, has the right of veto to veto the implementation of a bill, even though it has already been passed by the Senate.
The "Mutant Registration Act" is now being debated in the House of Representatives, located in Washington, D.C., on the north wing of Capitol Hill.
Generally speaking, non-Members are not allowed to participate in debates.
It's just that this time the "Mutant Registration Act" is too special to allow mutants to put out a representative to come out and debate on their behalf.
Originally, Jean Gray should have taken on this important role, but this time Zhang Lan's appearance persuaded Charles to take the stage and debate on his behalf.
For this scene, Zhang Lan entrusted Fury very early on, and asked him to invite the president to the scene at the cost of the complete cultivation method of the doppelganger technique.
Red, Susan, Ben, Johnny, Tony, Peter, and Harry were also present, wearing their own uniforms, on the one hand, to protect the president, and on the other hand, Zhang Lanhui needed their support.
Tony and Harry's suits were too inconvenient to carry with them, no, Tony brought a metal suitcase with red and gold stripes.
Before he was about to step onto the debate stage, Zhang Lan used the live broadcast card for the second time, and the meager account bound to it was a verified account with the name "Zhang Lan".
The day before the council was about to start, Peter and the others began to advertise, and Peter and Harry also had live broadcast cards.
Today, he wants to change the status quo of mutants, or transhumans.
It's about his plans for the future, and it's a crucial part.
"Come on, Blue, thank you so much for our variant, no matter what the result is... Well, the transhumans stepped forward. Charles was very solemn.
Zhang Lan didn't say much, nodded, swept his gaze to the back, and after looking at Katie, he smiled slightly, and the writing wheel eye hook jade in his eyes began to fade slowly, until he returned to the appearance of an ordinary person.
Now Charles will no longer probe into his brain at will, so he doesn't have to spend Chakra all the time to maintain the writing wheel, and even if Charles does invade, it will not be Zhang Lan who is unlucky.
In the expectation of everyone, Zhang Lan walked towards the debate platform in the center of the field.
"Hello Halo, hey, hey, hey!" Zhang Lan first made a funny test microphone:
"Well, everyone, my name is Zhang Lan, you can call me Lan, representative, well... Mutants to do the debate. ”
"You can start, Mr. Zhang Lan, we are all very tight on time." A gray-haired congressman in the audience spoke, and his momentum was quite aggressive.
"Well, actually, we're probably going to have a long time today, Congressman Kelly, aren't we? Are you busier than the president? You know, the president happened to be here today. With that, Zhang Lan waved at the president.
"Everyone's division of labor is different, you can't misinterpret what I mean." Congressman Kelly did not back down at all, and coped with confidence.
Seeing this, Zhang Lan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then started today's topic.
"Councillor Kelly, first of all, please don't interrupt me while I'm speaking, it's basic courtesy, thank you."
"Mutants, or as I prefer to call them, are a new kind of human beings caused by the sudden occurrence of the X gene, they have all kinds of wonderful abilities, through walls, fire control, regeneration, etc., and as we all know, everyone has X genes, XY represents male, XX represents female."
"In other words, it is possible that all of you present will mutate into a new human in the next moment, or in the future."
......
After a long speech, Zhang Lan explained the basic knowledge very clearly, and even showed his ability to control the sand on the spot.
No one knows if it's his superpower anyway.
Many times in the middle, the Kelly Congressman also tried to interject and ask Zhang Lan to finish his speech quickly, but Zhang Lan didn't even look at him, and talked about the pre-set script by himself.
Two hours later, Congressman Kelly finally erupted.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Lan, but I had to interrupt you." Kelly said into the microphone, "But you've deviated from the agenda of this council, that is, are mutants dangerous?" ”
After glancing at Congressman Kelly, Zhang Lan continued to talk about the topic that had just been interrupted, which was a hypothesis about whether the X gene, which has a self-healing factor, could treat cancer.
Seeing that Zhang Lan didn't pay attention to his meaning at all, Congressman Kelly glanced at the president, and it was very strange that the president didn't say anything.
At this time, a man in a suit walked up to Councilor Kelly and handed him a document that made him happy.
It came at the right time.
Councillor Kelly picked up the report and stood up straight, which was very unruly, but he did just that.
"Sir, you haven't answered my question yet, are mutants dangerous?" Kelly used a roar to say this, not a microphone, because the special arch structure of the House made it clear to everyone.
This change made Zhang Lan have to stop the topic he wanted to continue, and looked at Councilor Kelly helplessly.
"Mr. Councillor, you must have something to say when you see that document in your hand? Otherwise, you just say it and save time for everyone? ”
Councillor Kelly almost jumped up when he said this,
Obviously you are delaying the time, okay? Why is he wasting everyone's time now?
The wicked sue first!!
There was also a small burst of laughter around him, and the reason why Zhang Lan hadn't stopped talking for so long was because Zhang Lan was lecturing using a talk show, and the audience was very interested in listening to it.
Taking a deep breath, Councillor Kelly calmed himself down and began his speech.
As a parliamentarian, public speaking is a must-have skill.
"I've always wondered why mutants are hiding, sneaky, hiding cats?"
After speaking, Councillor Kelly glanced at Zhang Lan, and saw that he didn't mean to take over the conversation, so he could only continue to talk by himself.
"I've got a list of mutants in the United States, and one of them is a girl who can walk through walls, what if she sneaks into a bank, what if the latter is in the White House, or in your house?"
This assumption immediately made the audience at the scene whisper a little, and Katie on it also had an ugly face.
"I've also heard that there are mutants who can control human minds and deprive us of the will to be free."
"I think we have the right to decide whether our children want to be mutants as teachers or classmates, or stay away from them."
Speaking of this, Councilor Kelly's strong control of the field made the audience at the scene nod and applaud spontaneously.
Some of the senators also discussed with each other in private, nodding their heads frequently to express their approval of this speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, mutants do exist, and they are all around us, and we need to know who they are, study them thoroughly, and know what they are capable of."
These subdued words once again made the gradually weakening applause of the scene resound, and some even began to whistle.
Councilor Kelly, who was the initiator, also nodded with satisfaction, and did not look at Zhang Lan, and was ready to leave in high spirits.
In fact, it seems that this council can indeed be over.
