Scroll down a bit, you'll find it. There are apparently 5 non-voting delegates in the HoR from DC, Puerto Rico, etc. IIRC, they can vote in committees but not on the floor. The Democrats want to make a change to that, but I'm not sure of what the implications of "Committee of the Whole" are.

A Committee of the Whole is when a parliamentary group appoints all its members to a special committee, therefore known as a committee of the whole.

This can't be permitted. Last time, the press complained. This time, the spineless Republicans had better obstruct all further business until this is properly resolved, because the corrupted press sure won't help.
