That’s the house, and only because it was a bill passed back to the house, after previous passage, to review senate revisions. Otherwise they would have been allowed to debate much more if this was the first time the house had the bill.
If there was a god none of this needed to happen
How lame, I hope the people of Alaska aren’t dumb enough to vote for her again.
Or at least if we have elections again
Although if the house edits it the senate would have to vote for it again.
Ironically some of the house hardliners may kick the bill back because the senate changed some of the things the Trump wanted
We actually did, his name was Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Sure if we hold him up to today’s standards not a progressive by any means, but he campaigned on working class issues and helped steer the country out of the depression. He created virtually all our modern safety nets or their predecessors.
He was so popular a president that Congress amended the constitution to ensure no other president could have more than 2 terms. He was so popular congress was afraid it threatened the power of their branch of government.
Running on and actually accomplishing worker centric policy works.
And to fend of the inevitable yes he was not that progressive by today’s measures and had a mountain of flaws. But his accomplishments were revolutionary for the country in his time.
You’re wrong there. A senate parliamentary can be removed by the majority leader.
To amend the constitution take a 2/3rds majority vote, 2/3rds of states ratifying an amendment, or a constitutional convention being called and amendments voted on.
Of course these are just the legal means. Ignoring it and doing what you want seems to be working just fine for them
Unfortunately positions like the parliamentarian are not part of the law of the land and are a procedure put into place by the Senate. That means the senate can remove them at any time.
It’s a bad system and was built to work on “good faith”.
Be more considerate, allow them to at least cup their hands first . Then they at least have something to sip on
