It was my understanding that one was irregular (and unconstitutional) because they did not first reconcile the differences between the two houses. They just sent one of them to the President to be signed.

So in reality-land John, there was no real DTV deadline between the fall

 days to the deadline originally established by the FCC.



Did Congress really pass that legislation?
To the best of my knowledge yes. By the time it gets to the president any differences between hose and Senate versions must be reconciled.
