The dramatic vote in the House of Representatives is often in trouble after Republicans’ insurgency against their own party.
It’s the future of two key bills backed by the Trump administration, which are scheduled to receive a vote this week.
A mechanism known as “rule voting,” traditionally partisan, is not an expression of support or opposition to a particular legislation, when nine Republicans joined Democrats’ extraordinary condemnation of Republican leaders.

This is a battle for weeks to fight for the ability of new parents to vote remotely in Congress.
It was an embarrassing setback for the House Republican leader who provided the full court media for the bill that would have limited capacity for district judges to impose a national injunction nationwide and would have prescribed proof of citizenship to vote.
R-FLA. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has been leading bipartisan pushing legislation that will allow new House parents to vote remotely around the birth of their children.
She tried to force the bill through a mechanism called a “discharge petition” that would effectively terminate leaders’ family votes on legislation, provided that the petition was supported by a simple majority of the House.
Legislators rarely (if any) file a release petition for their own parties.
