Can you explain to someone who doesn’t get the chance to watch a lot of hearings.....what does ‘revise and extend’ mean?
Foretenberry has got some kickin’ hair!
Anytime our Congressmen get up to speak- they may just say a couple of the things they WANT to say- if they will add things later for the Congressional Record- they must ask permission from the Speaker.
So- at a later time if they want to add a longer speech, a newspaper article etc. they are granted the right to do so. They often say it during debates on the Floor so they can come back to finish later. However- they don’t stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, in an unbroken line to stand at the podium to ask for permission to revise and extend...
What they did was clever as well as visually perfect showing a unified front :)
Hi MOM, not sure if anyone responded on “revise and extend”...
ALL proceedings of the House and Senate are published for public review in the FEDERAL REGISTER.
What they mean with “revise and extend” is since they are limited by time to speak on the floor, they can put the full text of what they wanted to say into the Federal Register.
