Listening to headlines make me want to keep the chamber frozen. if no bills go through then there are no riders attached. If there are no riders there is no money forbthe D.S. if there is no new money for the D.S., the D.S. has to expend favors and IOUs. the more IOUs they spend, the less power they have.
Keep the D.S under siege!!!
There are 2 types of temp speaker. 1st is what the McHenry was, extremely limited
The second, what they're proposing, has most speaker powers, but I don't remember if passing bills was one of them. Sorry.
