Rob Bishop: “Since the minority leader is supportive, or I wouldn't be here, and I am the ranking member and I am supportive of it…”

“Since the minority leader is supportive, or I wouldn't be here, and I am the ranking member and I am supportive of it, and the Navajo Nation has been told. The chairman of the committee is in support of it, does that not constitute the clearance guidelines that would allow the Speaker to entertain the motion? The SPEAKER pro tempore. A unanimous consent request for consideration of that measure would have to receive clearance by the majority and minority floor and committee leaderships. The Chair is unaware of such clearance; therefore, the Chair cannot entertain that request at this time.”
