Incorrect. The problem is your assumption that those involved were talking about the bill. They weren't. They were talking about the amendment to the bill that had been proposed. Which specifically excluded US citizens from the House Bill that was written by the Republicans, which included, as in applied to, US citizens as well.
First: You're incorrect. They were talking about the bill. Are you just going to throw stuff on the wall and hope it sticks?
Secondly: What happened to my English lesson? I want you to hear some more confused meanderings on proper English from you!
