We will see how it survives the conference process between the House and Senate.

Yes. But that’s why the 1st vote was under suspension that needed 2/3 majority, because otherwise it would have had to have gone through sub committee, then full committee, then the rules committee, then the floor where they would vote on the rules and amendments are added. By the time the bulb legislation was done with, it would not do what it originally sought out to accomplish. Under suspension, that whole process above doesn’t happen and the original bill is brought to the floor as is for an up or down vote, but it needs 2/3 to pass the House.
