No more sitting on their hands doing nothing. It’s all a bit of parliamentary maneuvering but in general, rebel GOP reps are on the verge of passing something called a “discharge petition.” That means 4 different bills will come to the floor of the House for open debate and vote. The one receiving the most will go to the Senate for consideration there. Speaker Ryan opposes this because he has his own bill that lacks Democrat support, unlike a couple of the four.
In other words, Speaker Ryan and his fellow honchos want things their way and are po’d because the rank and file are getting fed up with the delays.
“Having some kind of spectacle on the floor that results in a veto doesn’t solve this problem,” Ryan said. “We never want to turn the floor over to the minority. What I don’t want to do is have a process that just ends up with a veto. We actually want to solve the DACA problem.”
