That must be an internal rule. I’ve never heard of it. But the speakership is a powerful position.

I think the newscaster were saying it was Constitutional.

The speakers and committee heads can keep legislation from getting to the floor. This is why it is so important to understand just how the election process works because this could be the difference between a legislature that truly represents the people and one that is managed and controlled from the top for the benefit of a select few.

Do you think that we really have a congress that truly represents the will of the people?
