| 35. From c-span glossary: MTR |
|
A motion to recommit returns a bill to committee, in effect killing it. However, a motion to recommit with instructions is a last opportunity to amend the bill.
The instructions to the committee direct changes to the text of the bill. If adopted, the chairman of the named committee immediately stands and reports the change back to the House. The next step is the House vote on final passage of the bill.
Minority Members receive priority of recognition for offering motions to recommit.

I think these people totally and completely believe that's true. I think they believe in their deluded, ignorant brains that they're the majority of the country. They're so caught in the Beck/Limbaugh world that they think everyone agrees with them. That's always been one of my biggest problems with Repubs. They can't conceive of different viewpoints. It's just out of the realm of possibility for them.
