I was responding to someone who claimed the new GOP majority in the House would not go along with what the Senate wants if it unfairly changes the rules this way. The House has nothing to say about Senate rules.
Nor has it anything to do with confirmation of judges or approval of treaties.
But it dows have the power of the purse...
I'll try again. Of course, I know that the House cannot do anything about the rules the Senate adopts. But an earlier poster suggested that our newly-elected House members might try to thwart legislation from the Senate if the Democrats in the new Congress do not allow the GOP Senators to filibuster. Here's what he said:
No law they pass will get through the House next year.
I responded that I doubted the GOP in the House would stand firm on something like that. They might say they would hold up legislation from the Senate, but they would not really do it.
Is my point clear now?
