Based on the first page I’m saying NO SALE.

They aren't asking you. That's the problem. The dems are in charge.

Yep. They're trying to push a fast one over the Reps. This bill deserves a NO vote from the GOP caucus!

Someone with more knowledge about congressional rules needs to look at page 55:

4 (6) COORDINATION WITH ACTION BY OTHER 5 HOUSE.

If, before the passage by one House of a 6 resolution of that House described in paragraph (2), 7 that House receives from the other House a resolu8 tion described in paragraph (2), then the following 9 procedures shall apply: 10 (A) The resolution of the other House shall 11 not be referred to a committee. 12 (B) With respect to a resolution described 13 in paragraph (2) of the House receiving the res14 olution— 15 (i) the procedure in that House shall 16 be the same as if no resolution had been 17 received from the other House; but 18 (ii) the vote on final passage shall be 19 on the resolution of the other House.

I could be wrong but are they saying if the senate passes this bill first, the House can't amend it and can only vote yes or no on what the senate did?
