Steny Hoyer said "I want to raise a parliamentary inquiry, initially, with reference to the fact that Mr. Ryan, our Speaker, has told us that, if people were in the well, the vote would be held open. I was standing in the well. No one came or no one had the courage to come into the well to change their vote. But notwithstanding that, the vote kept changing. Mr. Speaker, from a parliamentary perspective, how is that possible? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair may not yet have made a request for changes." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
