a) having the president get arrested that cucked their base from them is going to grind everything to a halt and cause a bloodbath in 2018
b) *NITE CREW OPTION*

the fact that every republican that trump is near coming up with ties to russia isn't a coincidence and putin has roots throughout the entire party

Yep, this gets rid of the previous rule that a bill couldn't leave the rules committee and be voted on in the same day. Now they can completely rewrite the bill, slam it through rules and vote on it immediately.

for what its worth
http://conginst.org/open-house-how-the-house-of-representatives-can-reinvigorate-the-amendment-process/#_ednref31

quote:

Instituting a supermajority requirement to restrict amendments has a weakness. A majority could evade the supermajority requirement by adopting a special rule that simply waives the supermajority rule. It employs a similar procedure already. The House generally requires a layover of at least one legislative day before it may consider a resolution the Rules Committee reports. If the House would like to consider a Rules Committee resolution on the same the day it is reported, with a couple exceptions (such as during the last three legislative days of a session), rule XIII, clause 6(a) requires a two-thirds supermajority to do so.[xxx] However, to sidestep this rule, the Rules Committee will report and the House will adopt special rule that waives the layover requirement for a specified time period or for any resolution that provides for consideration of a particular bill. For example, in the 113th Congress, the House adopted H. Res. 361, which read, “Resolved, That the requirement…for a two-thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the same day it is presented to the House is waived with respect to any resolution reported through the legislative day of September 30, 2013, relating to any of the following: (1) A measure making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. (2) A measure relating to the public debt limit.”[xxxi] The House will pass a special rule like this and then, because this waiver of the layover has been granted, adopt a subsequent special rule on the day it has been reported. The House could employ a similar process to evade a rule requiring a supermajority for a structured or closed rule.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

What's the point of the rules fuckery if they don't even have enough votes for it to pass? Will this someone make someone who's said "no" go back to "yes" because they're now allowed to just do whatever the hell they want?

If there's a recess these congressmen will chicken the gently caress out

once the trump thing comes down theyll be dealing w the fallout of that for a long while especially if the democratic party considers finding enough balls at that point to try to tie every republican policy and elected official to trump

Just a reminder that the house vote being held this Thursday is for an entirely artificial reason. something something anniversary of ACA being passed 3/23/10

so it's for an entirely "gently caress you" empty gesture that they're forcing this preterm abortion of a bill through tomorrow and falling over themselves in the process
