Are you nieve or something? Sure there are legalities and points of order.....but have you not seen these completely ignored and bypassed in these past years since Ob stepped up to the plate? There is no way that this committee is not going to be bought and paid for....and backdoor deals will be enormous among them. It’s a very bad and dangerous plan....no different then the Czars who now run things amuck.
No, I know the facts and you don't.
This committee is made up of elected representatives from Congress. Whatever legislation they draw up is subject to an up or down vote from the House AND the Senate. If whatever they propose fails, the automatic spending cuts outlined in the legislation that just passed tonight goes into effect. Period.
Before every major bill gets voted on, there is a vote on the rules. It is commonplace for the rules to prevent amendments - in fact I am sure it happened with the vote today as it does with many others. All this legislation does is says that whatever the committee, made up of elected congresscritters and senators comes up with, gets a straight up or down vote. That's it.
