Big: Boehner Promises to Not Bring Comprehensive Amnesty Bill to Floor Unless a Majority of GOP Caucus Supports It
House veto?
I kind of don't believe him, and I also kind of think that a majority of our elected Knaves & Fools will support the bill, but at least there's a chance.
“I don’t see any way of bringing an immigration bill to the floor that doesn’t have a majority support of Republicans,” Boehner told reporters following a closed-door House GOP conference meeting…
According to a member who attended the meeting, Boehner argued against the Hastert Rule, but assured his colleagues that he would adhere to it on immigration.
On Monday, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher warned that Boehner should lose his gavel if he moved forward on immigration without majority support, saying it would be a “betrayal” of the party…
Asked by reporters if he agreed with Rohrabacher’s assessment, the Speaker considered the question and replied “maybe.”
