237 members is huge .

these people are so fucking lazy, you would think something as important as our immigration system would be something worth fighting 24/7 to correct and fix, but no.
god forbid it'd be something that either leeches more off the average american or helps corporations like obamacare or tax cuts cause they'd be all over it.

Some info on "Queen of the Hill" Rule:

@girlsreallyrule
#QueenOfTheHill is a special rule intended to regulate floor consideration of a specific legislative measure named in the resolution, that suspends current House rules of no amendments allowed AFTER the full text of the bill is adopted.

It allows for legislators to go back in to a bill that would previously NOT be amendable and alter it-the #QueenOfTheHill rule allows the chamber to consider alternative proposals in sequence, which would normally not be allowed.

#QueenOfTheHill states that whatever measure proposed receives the MOST votes (regardless of the order in which it was voted on) will be adopted. This allows for competing proposals to each be considered by the House AND ensures that the measure with the most support is adopted.

The measure proposed must also surpass the threshold for the majority (more than 218 votes) to be in the running for the final standing amendment in the #QueenofTheHill race.

Bottom line is getting Ryan to actually agree to this. From what I am understanding, this is no way forces his hand to bring these bills to a vote, right?

What does this have to do with DACA?

You’re fucking joking, right?
