Exactly.  I have felt similar reservations straight from seeing Jack Maller's Miami presentation that included the El Salvador president's statement.  Right from the start Maller and other commenters upon the topic were presenting the matter as if it were a "done deal" - even the President seemed to proclaim that it will be done in the coming week - and I have hardly known any government to get things done that quickly, especially the more complicated the legislation or rule that is going to be passed. Another devil in the detail matter would be if the President sends over a draft legislation and the congress looks at the matter and decides if they want to pass it "as is" - something like "the sky is blue" would be easy to get agreement, not have any debate and then pass without amendment, but if there are stake holders with varying interest, including potential pressures from outsiders, then surely there might be some considerations regarding whether some of the language of the draft legislation needs to be changed or if they are able to agree to passing the draft exactly as proposed. So, at this point, we not ONLY have a lot of presumption that whatever was proposed would just go through without modification and then even questions about what is being proposed exactly - though I presume that some links have been shared about what is being proposed. Surely, I am going to become more interested if something does actually pass (and to see what that is, exactly), and surely surprised if something actually passes this week as seems to be a kind of presumption towards the President's statement that he is "sending something to parliament on the topic this week".. what is he sending exactly?  Did he already send it?  Define this week.
