Blackstone Code

Chapter 1748: power up

The life of the House of Representatives is very difficult. Strictly speaking, no president has ever been born directly in the House of Representatives!

​​

From the founding of the Commonwealth to the present, there has been no record of a member of the House of Representatives running for election and winning.

​​

Presidents are often elected by governors, senators, and parties, and House of Representatives is not among them!

​​

It can also be seen how embarrassing the position of the House of Representatives is in the federal political arena!

​​

To say that the members of the House of Representatives are nothing, they are also members of Congress, and they still have power. At least when they need to raise their hands, every vote counts!

​​

And there are many committees in Congress, and the House of Representatives is also an important part of it.

​​

But you really have to say how amazing these congressmen are...

​​

Except that none of them have directly produced a president, most of the time they are not more effective at making decisive votes.

​​

Unless they are willing to use their future to the so-called freedom and justice!

​​

And even if they join various committees, the positions they hold are often middle and low-level jobs, which are considered cool work.

​​

In addition, the replacement of members of the House of Representatives is very fast. Unlike some senators, it takes six, eight, or even ten or more years to sit down!

​​

Therefore, in the first year after entering the Capitol, most members of the House of Representatives want to find their own position and find a backer that can shelter them from the wind and rain!

​​

Senator Langdon now has more than ten members of the House of Representatives serving him, so it is not wrong to say that he is the soul of the "Landon Gang".

​​

But to say how powerful this "Landon Gang" is, it's not entirely true.

​​

At least there are no senators or other important politicians in it, so its influence is very limited.

​​

Of course, although the weak are weak, they are only relative.

​​

Those members of the House of Representatives are willing to use Senator Landon as their backer, which means that Senator Landon is somewhat of a senator with a bit of prestige.

​​

Lynch's words, talking about his favorite place, smiled like a blooming flower!

​​

"That's all people's jokes!", he laughed unreservedly.

​​

The governor glanced at Adelaide secretly, and the moment they made eye contact, they moved away.

​​

They talked about it before Senators Lynch and Landon came.

​​

The governor wants to come to Bopeng, he has no basis.

​​

Once he left the position of governor, many relationships became less strong, such as some local York state capitalists.

​​

From a long-term perspective, having their own spokesperson in Congress, or a senator, is what most capitalists need.

​​

They need to know about the changes in federal laws earlier than ordinary people. The big proposal must be the first to be put forward in Congress, and there are representatives of their interests.

​​

Don't say help them when their interests are hurt, say a few words, even if it's just a news, it's very important.

​​

But how many capitalists can get their business to the point where they need to pay attention to federal law?

​​

The priority and weight of local laws are higher than federal laws, they just need to cater to the new governor as they did in the past!

​​

If a law that is really related to their vital interests is passed, the state legislature will directly vote not to incorporate it into the local law enforcement and interpretation standards, right?

​​

So now the governor is a little embarrassed. The support from capital is not strong enough. Without the support of capital, he will not be able to open the situation in Congress.

​​

At the same time, in terms of politics, his basic business is in York State, not in Bupen. Although he has long foreseen coming to Bupen, he has never been able to open up the situation very well.

​​

Those members of Congress don't like governors unless they're obedient ones.

​​

As a governor, it is obviously impossible to cooperate with Congress in everything, which will make his voters and some supporters look down on him.

​​

They were born with some contradictions and some opposites.

​​

Now that he is here, it is also doomed. He needs to build up the relationship network here as soon as possible.

​​

Lynch is the most crucial part of it!

​​

If Lynch is willing to support him, at least he won't suffer too much trouble!

​​

People don't look at his face, but they have to take care of Lynch's decency.

​​

The goal was very clear from the beginning, and Adelaide naturally knew what to say at this time.

​​

"We all know of Senator Langdon's ability to work. Sabine City has experienced the most rapid development under your leadership."

​​

"Even in the Great Depression, it was much better than anywhere else!"

​​

"This is all a manifestation of your personal ability!"

​​

"When we come over, we need you to help us with our work."

​​

Senator Langdon enjoys compliments like this, especially when they come from someone who didn't think much of you before!

​​

He nodded reservedly, raised his glass, "We all come from the same place, and we should help each other."

​​

"Actually, I don't think this 'Random Gang' statement is quite correct..."

​​

Adelaide asked cooperatively, "What should I say?"

​​

Senator Langdon turned his head and glanced at Lynch, then smiled and said, "It should be the 'York Gang'!"

​​

He wanted to say "Lynch Gang", but he quickly dismissed the idea, because he knew that Lynch would not like this kind of title.

​​

Once this title leaks out, it will become a kind of trouble!

When I was a local mayor in the past, the grassroots political ecological environment was relatively clean, but after reaching the Congress, everything I experienced in the past became naive.

​​

While the members of Congress eat everything the capitalists give them, they watch out for the capitalists.

​​

They both want to be women's watches, but they don't want to be known, and they also want to get the money to be women's watches. This is the status quo of Congress!

​​

If the name "Lynch Gang" were allowed to spread, there would definitely be people who would express dissatisfaction with him, or even Lynch!

​​

The Congress can only be the Congress of congressmen, not the Congress of capitalists. This is the consensus of all members!

​​

They can accept political donations from capitalists or do business with them, but they will not allow capitalists to interfere with their work.

​​

In fact, this is a bad and distasteful statement, and every member of parliament is speaking for some capitalists.

​​

They know what they are doing, they just want to keep their last dignity.

​​

So if someone wants to lift the mask of hypocrisy to reveal the bloody, rotten face underneath, they will run wild!

​​

The York gang is different, a regional thing, no one is so sensitive, and can get some people's friendship.

​​

​​

​​

In Congress, there is more than one member from York State.

​​

Senator Langdon continued, "So we should play its role and value, we are all from York, we should help each other, as it should!"

​​

Lyn Qi nodded slightly, "That's right, we should be a whole, and only if we unite our strength, others will not look down on us or hurt us!"

​​

Great tone and positioning!

​​

The governor also showed a satisfied face, he got what he wanted, and Senator Lynch and Landon were willing to accept him, which is a good thing.

​​

After the main problem was solved, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

​​

The governor's nephew is still the mayor of Sabine City. Originally, their idea was to train a qualified successor and then let his nephew take office.

​​

But looking at it now, his nephew is likely to fail the path of running for governor.

​​

However, there are thousands of political paths in the federal government. Since it has become difficult to elect governors, we should simply do more grassroots work, and then find a way to elect members of the House of Representatives.

​​

In Congress, as long as he can stand on his side, it is not a big problem to support a nephew.

​​

Speaking of the situation in Sabine City, the governor said another very interesting thing.

​​

"Lynch, do you know Johnson?"

​​

Lynch was slightly taken aback by his question, "I know several Johnsons, but I don't know which one you're talking about!"

​​

He was also a little curious. Among the Johnsons he knew, there were no people who could directly reach their social level.

​​

Adelaide continued the governor's words, "It's the former chief of the Sabine tax bureau, Johnson..."

​​

It is indeed much better for two people to face this situation. If the governor has been explaining all the time, it will give people a feeling that his status is very low now.

​​

But when Adelaide opened his mouth to make some basic descriptions, and what to say, it would not make people feel that he had the lowest status among the three.

​​

Lynch nodded slightly at this time, "I remember him. Didn't he transfer to the state office?"

​​

"Speaking of which, he should retire, right?"

​​

The governor nodded and shook his head again, "Johnson retired last year, but you know, the Bureau of Contraband and Dangerous Goods Investigation..."

​​

"They have just been established, and the director-general is said to have a little bit of ability, and he didn't make the problem too intensified."

​​

"A lot of old people were hired below. They heard about Johnson from somewhere, and then hired him again."

​​

Speaking of which, the governor also feels that things are impermanent.

​​

Johnson is a good old man with rich work experience. He is not really suitable to be a leader in developing a business.

​​

Because he is not aggressive. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

​​

But the General Administration still used him, probably meaning that Johnson's rich experience could reconcile conflicts with society for the new authority.

​​

The concept of contraband and dangerous goods is very big, although they have a list, but there are too many things listed.

​​

This is also destined that this department will have more conflicts with the people.

​​

But everyone knows that Johnson won't stay in this position for too long.

​​

After the new department work has stabilized, he is about to leave.

​​

Speaking of this person, it was hard for Lynch not to think of that young woman with a child who betrayed her husband.

​​

and her future husband in prison.

​​

The most important thing is that these three people used to be good friends and have a relationship of subordinates.

​​

These topics are just a topic of conversation, just like the content of "Do you know the little girl from the second house in the east of our community...".

​​

This private meeting ended soon. The governor will not stay here for too long. He has to go back to preside over his work, but his purpose has been achieved.

​​

Lynch welcomed the governor's upcoming entry into Congress.

​​

This means that he has one more person who can speak for him in Congress!
