Deals: 1 lawmaker can make motion to elect new speaker / votes on term limits/ votes on budget resolution that balances the budget in 10 years/ not to increase debt limit without spending cuts/ not bring bills to floor until 72 hours passed : 3 seats on rules committee for house freedom caucus members
The left is freaking about the three new members on the rules committee because that’s where the real power is.
Yes. Now that I understand this, it's absolutely everything. No bills will go forward unless the freedom causes wants them.
