My question is: how long before it hits the President's desk.

Depends on how long they take to iron out the details. There's a "self-imposed" deadline in play as well. They're trying to get it prepared for the White House before Presidents Day, which would mean they'd have to get it together by the end of this week. We'll just have to see. Here's a link:

We're living in interesting times.
