[quote]Washington (CNN) -- A typo is keeping President Obama from signing legislation designed to end budget-related FAA air traffic controller furloughs blamed for widespread flight delays, a congressional source told CNN Saturday.
But the fix is going into effect anyway, and the system will be back to normal by Sunday, the FAA said.
Apparently the holdup boils down to an "s" needing to be added somewhere in the Senate version of the bill -- it's not clear which word is the culprit.[/quote]

I did see that but it's just stupid how something like this could even flare up over a single character.

I'd guess a singular that's upposed to be plural
This is the problem with both houses of Congress trying to submit bills at the same time. If they simply submitted it in one house, then waited for it to run it's course, then send it to the other one, this wouldn't be a problem, as they were working off the same document. Instead they try to run in parallel, which causes problems like this. They have to both pass the identical bill.

It would be FAR worse if semantics didn't play a huge part, as it would mean EVERYTHING becomes a matter of opinion, and then nothing gets done

President Ob2ma?
Doesn't the President have the power to make tiny changes to bills (assuming Congressional approval or whatever)? Or am I not remembering my high school government class well enough?
That power would make this missing S a non issue.
My friend texted me an awful fucking joke about this
[QUOTE]lol, was it like touch the flight attendants as you board?[/QUOTE]
I guess he's trying to say "lol butt joke"

He can request changes and say he'll sign it if they're made.
and on line 23 of page 64, paragraph 12,
"we here by grant thousand dollars to the FAA to spend as they like"
still i bet they'll philibuster the bill now that obama is requesting a slight change in the speeling

your thinking of line-item veto, which was briefly given to clinton before being made unconstitutional
