Speaker Nancy Pelosi has agreed the House should vote next week on scolding Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for his outburst during President Barack Obama's speech unless he apologies on the floor of the House.
"There was a violation of the rules of the House," said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly. "It needs to be resolved by an apology or a resolution."
A Democrat will introduce a "resolution of disapproval" Monday or Tuesday unless Wilson formally apologizes on the House floor. The House returns Monday.
Wilson shouted "You lie!" Wednesday night during Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress, after Obama said his health care plan would not cover illegal immigrants.
Wilson apologized Wednesday evening and, on Thursday, Obama said he accepted Wilson’s apology.
Wilson spokesman Ryan Murphy indicated the congressman will not apologize on the House floor.
Murphy told the Associated Press Wilson "apologized to the president and the president accepted and said let's move on and have a civil discourse, and the congressman agrees."
Several House leaders and many rank-and-file Democrats pushed Thursday for some sanction against Wilson. Pelosi (D-Calif.) knocked down the idea, saying it would distract Congress from its work on healthcare.

...... so no one will call her a liar on the floor. Maybe in the lobby, but not on the floor. :-)
Good. Go for it Nan. You play right into Joe Wilson’s hands. Lets hear some more about how obama lies.
Any news on Charlie Rangel, Nancy?
The ‘Rats are making themselves look like the petty little dictators they are....
Will that be before or after Hillary Clinton apologies for calling Bush Hitler and the Republicans Nazis on the senate floor?
I’d like to see Pelosi’s approval numbers compared to Wilson’s.
"I am sorry if anyone was offended by my remarks."
Hopefully Joe Wilson will sell Pelosi’s “letter of disapproval” on EBAY and give the proceeds to charity. :^)
Nancy is such a whinny little female dog.
This news is obsolete. Pelosi has already retracted her demand for an apology after Wilson told her he was referring to the CIA.
I wonder if Joe is searching his name on Free Republic.
No apology, Joe. Keep your backbone.
Btw, Judge Napolitano says that it is a violation of the US Constitution to pass this bill and try to keep health care away from illegals. There is case law on point.
THIS BILL MUST NOT BE PASSSED.
Anything they do to him as “punishment” amount to absolutely nothing and no impact on his career whatsoever...let Nazi P do whatever she thinks is right.
Make Pelosi apologize to the CIA first.
Hey, you, plastic bitch. YOU LIE!!!
Pelosi get lost you Ugly Stupid Skank!
I’m going to suggest you be scolded for insulting my three furry female babies. Shame on you!!!! ~</;o)
Give him the floor, Nan.
Good thinking!
