H.R. 3962 - Affordable Health Care for America Act (Subject to a Rule)
(Sponsored by Rep. Dingell / Energy and Commerce/Ways and Means/Education and Labor Committees)
The Bitch of the House has entered it under suspension, which means there is essentially no debate or amendments allowed, and shortcuts the bill straight to the floor for a vote. Normally, the intent of the suspension procedure is to rapidly move mundane business such as resoultions commending some organization or recognizing some anniversary of the founding of a college, declaration of national Pigs Feet Day, etc. She is using it for control. She is a criminal, power mad socialist and control freak, and I wish we could all move to her district for a few months and vote her out. As it is, we can send her to a back bench by taking back the House.
There are nine principal features of the suspension procedure.
First, the Speaker controls the use of this procedure.
No Member has a right to make a suspension motion. The Speaker decides who to recognize for suspension motions.
Second, suspension motions are in order only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and during the final days of the annual congressional session.
The House sometimes agrees to consider suspension motions on other days, by agreeing to either a unanimous consent request or a special rule for that purpose.
Third, there are only 40 minutes of debate on a suspension motion and the bill (or other action) to which it relates.
Time control is usually divided between the chairman and the ranking minority member of the committee or subcommittee with jurisdiction over the bill. However, if the ranking minority member supports the bill, another Member who opposes it can claim control of half the time for debate.
Fourth, when a bill is considered under suspension, no floor amendments are in order.
The Member making the motion, however, can include amendments as part of his or her motion. In that case, the Member moves to suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended.
Fifth, after the 40 minutes of debate, there is a single vote on suspending the rules and passing the bill.
The House does not vote first on whether to suspend the rules and then on whether to pass the bill. Both questions are decided by one vote.
Sixth, a two-thirds vote of the House is required to pass a bill under suspension of the rules.
This is a two-thirds vote of the Members present and voting, a quorum being present. If a suspension motion fails to receive the required two-thirds vote, the House can consider the bill in question again, often under procedures that require only a simple majority vote to pass it.
Seventh, the Speaker can postpone rollcall votes on suspension motions until later on the same day or the following day, and cluster them to occur one after the other.
When there is a series of such rollcall votes, Members have 15 minutes to vote on the first motion but they usually have only five minutes to vote on each of the other motions.
Eighth, there is no requirement that a bill must be reported from committee before the House can consider it under suspension.
One advantage of the suspension procedure is that the committee to which a bill was referred does not have to meet formally to vote on reporting it or to prepare a written report on the bill.
Ninth, the suspension procedure automatically waives all points of order against the bill (or other action)and against its consideration.
The procedure suspends all rules of the House except those that govern the suspension procedure itself.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann is inviting all U.S. citizens who care about preserving the finest health care in the world to join her at the Capitol next Thursday, 11/5. She invites us to meet her on the steps of the Capitol at noon. She wants us to walk the halls of the Capitol and Congressional office buildings and meet with our representatives. Rep. Bachmann is looking for carloads and busloads of citizens to come. While we will not have the turnout of 9-12, we need to show our ability to mobilize and make a difference.
I'll be there.
