WASHINGTON - Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, is holding up the House-passed coronavirus relief bill and preventing it from being delivered to the Senate for a vote.
The House was expected to make technical corrections Monday to the bipartisan measure, passed by the House early Saturday, but Gohmert is insisting on reading them, a Democratic leadership aide confirmed to NBC News on Monday.
The technical corrections package has not yet been finalized and the House wants to pass it by unanimous consent because the House is on recess this week.
If one member stands in opposition, the House can’t send the bill to the Senate without bringing the entire House back from their districts to Washington for a vote. The Senate is in session this week, but schedules have been fluid because of the coronavirus outbreak.

” It’s already been read by the people who wrote it.”
*Please* say you were being sarcastic. You cannot possibly mean that seriously, that he should vote on it without reading it because the people who wrote it already read it.
I say good. the last time they “passed a bill to find out what is in it was a disaster”.
how much pork and poison pills are in the bill as currently stands.
I assume this is an “everything plus the kitchen sink” of Pelosi’s wish list. With the intention of having it be so bad that it will gets to the senate they will kill it. So that rthe house can blame the sanate for not passing “crucial” legislation.
GOOD.
I’m sure the Dems have snuck something into the bill.
But haven’t you heard? There is a cold going around that can kill people over 70. If that’s not a reason to paralyze the strongest economy in US history, I don’t know what is. /s
PS.. all the Democrat governors have put their states on lockdown. I bet you even think they don’t want what is best for America! /s
Exactly! I wouldn’t put it past them to try to sneak something in, for example, to give $500 Million to Planned Parenthood.
thank you Louie!
thank you Louie!
Thank you Jody Hice.
Yes, I was being sarcastic in part. How many people are in the House and he’s the only one who wants to have it read when Pelosi wanted 0bamacare passed so people would know what’s in it. One guy holds up this corona virus thing from being passed on to the Senate.

One cool head halts it from being sent on to the Senate out of all of them. Got it.
Good for you Louie. We got your back.
Wall street closed. Airlines shut down.
Trump already released $50 Billion, I’m not sure why we even need this money.
I actually think EVERY Piece of Legislation should be Required to be Read Aloud, without Pause, on the Floor of the House or Senate by it’s principal Sponsor or the Speaker.
This alone would eliminate the 1000-5000 page LAWS they pass.
Yeah, but t least I could go to a bar and get besotted while cursing the damned muzzies!
