Darkness & 10 Day theory: House returns with bill that is not amicable to POTUS. POTUS doesn't sign or VETO. He lets it sit, immediately starts Darkness…..After 10 days of no action the CR bill goes into effect with no action on his part. He has from 12/21-12/31 to clean house while Gov shut down and no action. Starting on Jan 1 Gov is funded to stopgap thru Feb 3rd, Jan 1 GITMO opens, and the EO goes into effect……
Perfect Timing.
