Did John Linder introduce this bill?

And, if so, was he compelled by house rules to vote for the bill he introduced?

If anyone out there can answer this I would be grateful.

In typical "Roberts Rules," yes, you must vote for the bill that you introduce, or else it is merely withdrawn.

The nitwit Rangel from NY voted against his own draft bill. He was p*ssed that we actually brought it to a vote.

Well, Charlie Rangel introduced some bill to bring back the draft, and then he voted against it, so I don't think so. I don't understand why Linder voted for this resolution. It is a non-binding resolution, BTW, not a bill.
