On the recordApril 13, 2011
Am I to understand this rule correctly that under the rule we are about to consider, if the House of Representatives approves the continuing resolution, that bill, despite the fact that the government is going to cease operating unless it passes, could theoretically sit at the desk, never to be sent to the President, never to be sent to the Senate ad infinitum if the Senate fails to take a specific action? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has inquired about a matter that may be debated by the Members during consideration of the pending resolution, rather than being addressed from the Chair. The gentleman from California is recognized for 1 hour.
