Rob Woodall: “I am holding the Rules of the House here that say in rule XV, clause…”

On the recordJuly 10, 2019

I am holding the Rules of the House here that say in rule XV, clause 7, paragraph (c), ``After a measure has maintained at least 290 cosponsors for a cumulative period of 25 legislative days after the presentation of a motion under paragraph (b)(1), the measure shall be placed on the Consensus Calendar. Such measure shall remain on the Consensus Calendar until it is'' either ``considered in the House; or'' . . . ``reported by the committee of primary jurisdiction.'' Does tucking a measure into the underlying bill, as the self-enacting amendment does today, satisfy the (c)(1) requirement that it be considered in the House? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will not respond to a hypothetical question or interpret the pending resolution. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, if the gentleman would yield to me, I am happy to respond to him.

The Attorney General, I have no doubt, feels exactly the same way about this as Ms. Scanlon and I do, as Mr. Lieu and Ms. Chu do. And that is why I am saddened that we have a resolution before us today that includes these ``whereases''…
