Shortly before the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans were trying to prevent a “lame-duck” session of Congress. (Lame-duck sessions are held after an election but before the newly elected Congress is sworn into office.) Republican members of the House of Representatives offered a resolution pledging not to hold a lame-duck session after the election. The Speaker of the House ruled that the Republicans’ resolution violated House rules. Republicans made a motion to appeal the Speaker’s ruling. Democrats then made a motion to table (kill) that appeal. |
