This is exposing what Boehner wanted to do. He talks “regular order”, while Democrats use “nuclear options”. But had King not exposed this , Boehner would have said “I didn’t bring it to the floor!!” It was the Dems under regular order” Now King will pressure for a vote on this resolution and who in the conservatives can be against it? Now— Peter King, the Democrat from New York will want the Democrats to force the bill down conservatives throat. I think he will be the only one. No conservative wants to lose his seat for letting the Democrats take over the floor of the House. Great move. !!!let your Congressman know he or she must support the rule XII resolution to restrict bill introduction by anyone but the Speaker.
He was probably given a pass on a first vote but he stood with Boehner in the past and wants to continue to be a "player in DC."
