There’s nothing to vote on, Nancy.
Is there a bill? Can you hold up a piece of proposed legislation that is ready to be voted on?
I didn’t think so.

If they refuse to fund the wall, Trump should withdraw his offer of citizenship and go back to the original number.
Two can play this game, Nancy.

Who knew - the House also has cloture?? Actually, it does. However, the House has a cloture rule, while the Senate has a cloture vote.
In the House, because there are so many members, unlimited debate is not possible. Therefore, the House has a cloture rule where both parties are allotted a fixed amount of time for debate, and the party leaders portion that time amongst their members who wish to speak about the topic. When the time is up, that side can no longer debate. When both sides use up their time, cloture is invoked and the House proceeds to a vote.
This is why you always hear a Congressman say that he's "yielding back the balance of his time," meaning any unused time that was given to him is release back to the debate manager to give to someone else. If someone used his time and still wishes to speak, he can get another member to "yield two minutes to my esteemed colleague from California..."

Sad to see a fool making a fool of herself in such a public way and sad that the other fools sit there and allow her to babble on. I almost feel sorry for her.

On second thought, at some extended point she’s gonna collapse (Mr. Smith goes to Washington) and the press is going to go orgasmic about how dedicated she is to the Nightmares.
