[QUOTE="Dockwalliper, post: 95835, member: 392"]If I read things correctly the House voted on and approved the [COLOR=Red]senate [/COLOR] version of the bill and its on its way to the President for his signature. House Vote 624: Dec 13, 2005 (109th Congress) This information comes from the U.S. House website, an official source for voting records. On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass: [COLOR=Red]S 1047 [/COLOR] To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of each of the Nation’s past President and their spouses, respectively, to improve circulation of the $1 coin, to create a new bullion coin, and for other purposes -- Passed Ayes: 291 (67%) Nays: 113 (26%) Not Voting: 29 (7%) Required: 2/3 Just made it. So that would mean [COLOR=Red]no living Presidents [/COLOR] will be honored. The first coins are scheduled for Jan 2007 so the mint has its work cut out for it.[/QUOTE]
