They can, theoretically. Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/01/2010 12:30:42 PM
I don't think the House could even pass the Senate version with no changes, and reconciliation would only work if they get it done before Brown is certified, which would look like an undemocratic thing.

If the House accepts the Senate version with no changes, no further reconciliation is required, and since the Senate has already passed it, no further action is required from it if the House forgoes all attempts to reconcile the bills and just accepts theirs. Needless to say, it would be political suicide and it won't happen anyway, but it is possible in theory.

Actually, there is a chance they can use reconiliation to pass it. I hope not. everynametaken - 20/01/2010 02:46:47 AM 911 Views
If they did that, they'd be signing their own resignations. Tom - 20/01/2010 02:54:56 AM 816 Views
Probably so but Pelosi did bring it up a few weeks ago. everynametaken - 20/01/2010 04:05:17 AM 814 Views
