Chapter 394 Decision
Kaqila put away her thoughts and returned to normal. She said with a disdainful expression: "It is nothing but a foolish dream to want to overthrow our current president with just this mere document!"

"Madam Vice President, who told you that this is all I have?"

"What do you mean?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, understand?"

"Inspector General David, I admit that you are very capable, but the President has been in this position for several years and has control over resources that are beyond your imagination. I don't think you can fabricate enough dirt on him to bring him down!"

Just as Kachila said, she didn't believe that David had enough dirt on Paden to bring him down.

In her opinion, David was most likely deceiving him just to get the ticket in her hand.

"Madame Vice President, if I didn't have it, why do you think we would have dared to pass this bill through the House and Senate?"

Upon hearing this, Kaqila instantly lost color.

That's right, she suddenly realized a problem.

Yes, now neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate has enough votes to reach two-thirds of the total for the bill to pass.

In other words, even if the bill passes both the House and the Senate, it will still be sent back to the House and the Senate as long as the president does not sign it.

At that time, it will require the approval of two-thirds of the members of both houses to take effect.

So the question is, what should we do if the bill is sent back to both houses?
Or they would have to obtain the consent of two-thirds of the members of both houses, but this number of votes is obviously unrealistic.

So the only option is for the President to sign it again!

But according to the current situation, if the bill is really passed by the Senate, then the three major groups will definitely do their best to put pressure on the White House.

Will Paidon really have the courage to sign this when the time comes?
If he doesn't sign, then there is only one option: replace him with a president who can sign!

To be more direct, let her go up and sign!
Based on this speculation, it is possible that David may have enough dirty information to impeach or even overthrow Payne.

Otherwise, even if the bill passes both the House and Senate, it will be meaningless if the president does not sign it.

"What do you think, Madam Vice President? Instead of the 28 years they promised you, you'd better take this opportunity now. If you really get elected this time, you will be the first female president of the United States and the first Asian-African American president."

"Based on these two points alone, you don't even need to make any contribution, it's enough to be recorded in the history of America!"

David continued to persuade.

But at this moment, Kachila was no longer as determined as before, and she was greatly shaken in her heart.

It is true that the three major groups promised to let her take the position in 28 years.

But as David said, 28 years is still nearly 6 years away from now. In the current rapidly changing situation, who knows what will happen then?
There won’t be any accidents?
And now, there is an opportunity to immediately strive for the highest position in front of her. If she is not tempted, she would be abnormal.

But...if she chooses the IRS's camp, the three major groups will not sit idly by. How should they respond?

For a moment, Kachila fell into a state of confusion.

David also saw her dilemma and assured her: "Ms. Vice President, I know you are afraid of the power of the three major groups, but don't worry, no matter what happens, we will protect you!"

"And after this bill is passed, many of them will be in a state of fear for themselves and will consider how to protect their own interests to the greatest extent. At that time, they will not have so much time to deal with you."

Hearing this, Kaqila was already quite shaken.

Yes, once this bill is passed, the members of the three major groups may not have the time to retaliate immediately.

The first thing that group of profit-seeking people must do is to collect their wealth as quickly as possible to avoid further losses.

Even if they want to retaliate, David is there to support them. With David's current control over the Senate and the House of Representatives, he is absolutely capable of protecting her!
In addition, if things really develop in the direction David said, and Paiden is impeached and steps down, and she, the vice president, takes over, she will be the president at that time!

No matter how powerful the three major groups are or how much they want to retaliate, they have to consider the value of the presidential title!

Based on the above, this deal seems to be more cost-effective than the price offered by the three major groups...

"I have a question……"

"Please say!"

"Although the White House has not made a clear statement in this incident, it does not seem to be averse to this bill. What if the bill really passes the Senate and the president really signs it?"

If this bill passes the Senate, there is no doubt that the three major groups will try every means to put pressure on the White House.

However, judging from the current situation, Paden may not necessarily refuse to sign.

And if Paden doesn't refuse to sign, then David will have no reason to mess with her, so how can she get promoted?

"Vice President Kachila, that's a good question. The White House may indeed resist the pressure and sign the agreement, but it may also refuse to sign. If the White House really resists the pressure and signs the agreement, then I can give you the same guarantee as the three major groups, and fully support your campaign for 28 years!"

If the White House really signs the bill in the end, then David would have no reason or need to take the risk of impeachment.

Kaqila frowned, and after a moment she said, "Okay, Chief Inspector David, I understand what you said, but this matter is of great importance, and I need to think about it carefully!"

"I understand. Then we will wait for good news!"

Although David and the other two were anxious to see Kamala's statement, they knew that since things had come to this point, they couldn't force her too much, so they could only leave the office first.

"Windsor, what do you think?"

After the three people left, Kaqila asked her chief of staff first.

"Madam Vice President, I think this deal is worth doing!"

The Vice President of the United States is originally a powerless mascot, and as the Vice President's chief of staff, he has even less presence.

And if David's proposal is really accepted and things go smoothly, then once Kamala enters the White House, Windsor will naturally become the most powerful steward of the White House.

The temptation of achieving instant success is much more impactful than getting it after 5 years!
"But Windsor, if you do this, the three major groups will be furious, and their revenge is no joke. Besides, the White House may not refuse to sign..."

"Madam Vice President!" Windsor was a little anxious, and said in a serious tone: "It is true that the three major groups cannot be underestimated, but now David's strength can be said to be no less than theirs, and even to some extent, it exceeds them!"

"We have a saying in America, 'He who controls Congress controls the world.' David currently holds an absolute advantage in the House of Representatives. Although he has not yet achieved control of the Senate, he still has a great influence."

"And now the bill has reached the final stage. Once this stage is passed and the legislation takes effect, the three major groups will be seriously damaged!"

"Also, think about it. If this bill is passed, the biggest beneficiary will of course be the IRS, but who will be the next biggest beneficiary? That must be the White House!"

"After all, after the bill is passed, it can be expected that the country's finances will be sufficient, and if the finances are sufficient, the welfare of the people can be guaranteed."

“And during this period of peace and prosperity, who wouldn’t sing praises to the White House?”

"You will not only be the only female and Asian-African American president in American history, but you will also be a president who has made outstanding contributions!"

After hearing the description from her chief of staff, Kachila couldn't help but fall into beautiful visions.

Come to think of it, if the bill is passed, the national finances will be instantly sufficient, and if she really becomes president during this period, it will definitely be a great bargain!
"As for your concern that the White House will sign, that is certainly possible. However, this game is a gamble. We might as well take a chance that they will refuse to sign. If we win, we will make a lot of money. Even if we lose, David has promised to support us for 28 years. This is not too bad, don't you think?"

Kaqila nodded, obviously agreeing with what his chief of staff said, but then he remembered something and said worriedly: "But Windsor, you also heard some rumors last night. It is said that people from the three major groups even threatened many senators with their families..."

"According to the information I received, the three major groups did threaten and even took action. However, earlier, I also heard through some channels that the CIA and FBI took some actions last night."

"According to reliable information, these senators and their families are already under the close supervision and protection of these two major organizations. I think you don't have to worry about this at all."

"These two American institutions are famous for a reason. Although the people in the three major groups are rich and ruthless, they can't do anything big with these two institutions watching them."

Originally, Kachila had already leaned towards David's side. The reason why she was so worried and asked her chief of staff was actually just to seek more psychological comfort.

And now, after this conversation, she has completely determined this idea in her heart!
"Let's go to the Senate!"

"understand!"

Windsor, who seemed to have already seen himself becoming the White House Chief of Staff, ran out happily to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, in a vehicle returning to the IRS headquarters.

"Do you think... this Kaqila will agree to stand on our side?"

Obadiah looked a little serious as he looked at David and Donald.

"Just from her expression, I think she is very interested in our proposal. If I were her, I would probably agree to it. After all, it's not often that you get a chance to achieve success overnight."

Donald replied, holding his chin.

"I agree with Deputy Director Donald. Although I haven't studied psychology, as a mascot-like vice president, it is difficult to resist the temptation of being on the verge of the highest throne."

"And I also noticed her chief of staff. Her chief of staff seems to be more eager than she is. So even if Kaqila hesitates, I think her chief of staff will definitely try his best to persuade her to join our side!"

David really guessed it right. After they left, Windsor, who was eager to get promoted, persuaded them in the way he said.

"Um……"

After hearing the two's answers, Obadiah felt much more relieved.

But at this moment, the phone in his pocket rang, and he immediately picked it up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What! Okay, I got it!"

After ending the call, Obadiah looked at the two of them with a sullen face and said, "I just received news that Kachila's convoy has already headed to the Senate."

"What! Does that mean she still doesn't accept our proposal?"

It's no wonder Donald thinks this way.

Generally speaking, if the other party accepts their proposal, they should call in advance to notify them.

If you don't call in advance, the result is self-evident...

In addition to Obadiah and Donald, David's face also became pale at this time.

Could it be that Kaqila is still going to stand on the side of the three major groups?

But it shouldn’t be!
Between the uncertain election in nearly six years and the current opportunity to make a quick buck, any normal person would choose the latter.

Did the three major groups make any promises to her?
At the same time, on Senado Island.

"What's going on with Kachila?"

"What's going on? Hasn't she told us the answer yet?"

"Damn it, is she going to vote for David? What benefits did David give her? She even ignored our promise to let her take the position!"

After hearing that Kachila's convoy was leaving for the Senate, the Freemasons at the scene all turned livid and cursed.

Like David and the others, they also did not receive any reply from Kachila, so they subconsciously thought that Kachila was about to stand on the other side.

Amid countless people's speculation and abuse, Kachila's convoy had already arrived at the gate of Capitol Hill.

"Madame Vice President, are you sure you don't want to notify the IRS in advance?"

In the car, Windsor asked cautiously.

"No, if we notify them now, the IRS will have an expectation, and they won't be so upset by then."

"If we don't give them an answer now, their nerves will be extremely tense. If we go to the meeting and vote in their favor, the entire IRS will be even more grateful to us!"

I have to say that Kachila is quite good at controlling human psychology.
