A committee passed a bill?
Can they do that?
not really. committees vote on bills to decide whether to present them to the rest of the house for a floor vote. it 'passed' committee. not the house.
Right ....looking this up, this can now be amended...and would go to the Rules Committee before it gets out on the calendar.
Bottom Line is this is not yet ensured a vote I'm the House.
And even getting past those obstacles, speaker McCarthy could simply refuse to call for a vote on it.
