The legislation had been developed in response to the severe economic downturn the country was experiencing. This was a vote on the resolution or “rule” setting the terms under which the House could debate the legislation funding the economic stimulus package. Under House procedures, before a bill or can be debated, the House must first approve a resolution containing the “rule” setting the terms for its consideration. The Republicans opposed the motion on several grounds. Their opposition was based partly on the substantive argument that the economic stimulus legislation was flawed and they had a better alternative. It was also based on the fact that the House was not being given adequate time to review the measure. |
