P229 357SIG ManQuestion about House of Representatives bills...
A House member introduces a bill for consideration...is the Speaker obligated to refer the bill to a committee? If not, can the member force it to the floor via a discharge petition?
I know about members being able to use a discharge petition to force a bill
out of committee but do they have a mechanism to force a bill
into committee?
