WASHINGTON - Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, is holding up the House-passed coronavirus relief bill and preventing it from being delivered to the Senate for a vote.
The House was expected to make technical corrections Monday to the bipartisan measure, passed by the House early Saturday, but Gohmert is insisting on reading them, a Democratic leadership aide confirmed to NBC News on Monday.
The technical corrections package has not yet been finalized and the House wants to pass it by unanimous consent because the House is on recess this week.
If one member stands in opposition, the House can’t send the bill to the Senate without bringing the entire House back from their districts to Washington for a vote. The Senate is in session this week, but schedules have been fluid because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Some people want to be noticed.
Hmmm. May not be a bad idea. The Dems are famous for sticking things into a bill at the last minute or sometime during the process, and since nobody can actually read the final draft now, who knows what they might do?
Wow... reading the bill.
That’s a novel concept.
Good for Louie. I’m positive that Rats are trying to slip some socialism and baby killing thru.
That’s what I thought. Novel idea.
I though they were supposed to pass these things if they wanted to know what was in it?
I heard poisonolski had too much pork in it like funding for abortions.
Why not? Didn’t Pelosi want the 0bamacare bill passed so they could know what’s in it? One guy wants to hold the whole thing up for a read? It’s already been read by the people who wrote it.

My congress-critter Jody Hice voted no because he did not have the chance to read the bill.
Where are the rest of the so called gopE senators? Cowards all. And Trump is starting to piss me off.
No, he is a cool head exercising sound judgement. This 8 billion dollar pork bill was rammed through with no hearings, and not even a chance to read the bill.
He also correctly pointed out that the emergency declaration already gives Trump 50 billion dollars immediately...so there is NO need for a panic rush in the face of the democrat panic.
The fact that the democrats are 100% in support of the bill should tell you that it is something bad for the country. Good for Louie.
Well, as Nancy said, you got to read it to know what’s in it.
Good for Gohmert.
Well I sure hope somebody read the damn thing
So now we are going to smear somebody who wants to know whats in the bill they are voting for?
