LMAO Dems said beforehand that they don't want this to actually happen, it was designed as a message bill that just "encourages the president to do something", but even this failed.

    I think they wanted a bill that would pass, and would sound good publicly but wouldn't actually do anything (the democrat special). Usually it's easy to get reps to support pointless bills because it's free pr, but here they still couldn't get that to pass.
