Clerk of the House

Congressional Bill Enrollment, Certification, and Delivery to the Executive Branch

Description

Kovaleski strides into the midnight hush of the Executive Clerk's office, uniformed guard shadowing, bearing the blue folder of the House-passed 'Death Tax Elimination Act' override—the Clerk of the House's certified thunderbolt. Instructions crack like orders: Alert Josh Lyman, rush to President Bartlet for signature or veto. This constitutional office wields the final procedural blade, dispatching bills via proxies to ignite White House crises, embodying the House's raw authority thrusting legislation across executive thresholds in rituals of urgent gravity (78 words).
