What bill would that be? There was no law in the 1980s on this topic. There was never a need for any emergency signature on a routine measure. As you are certain Ted Kennedy signed a proposed bill, while on a ski trip in the Alps sponsored by a steel company? You know about it? There is nothing on the Google about it. You don't know about other acts or legislation that actually exist, but this one situation, that mysterious bill that needed a physical signature while a Senator was out of town, that you recall clearly. Hmm.
