The Senate Parlimentarian has ruled that the House Democrats cannot use a tactic they were first reported to be exploring last week by The Daily Caller — to hold the Senate health care bill in their chamber after passing it to force the Senate to work with them on reconciliation.
The House is highly suspicious that the Senate might never come back to the table and work to amend the original piece of legislation if the House passes it.
This is all according to a report in Roll Call, which is citing Republican sources. I’m linking to a Spectator piece because Roll Call’s website is not loading.
