Weirdest moment of the vote: a Texas Republican asks when the bill would be considered if he moves to reconsider. Chair says immediately. Then he withdraws and leaves reconsideration moment tabled. It is impossible to overstate the inscrutable tedium of congressional parliamentary procedure.
Megan you completely misunderstood. He was asking to table the PREVIOUS motion to recommit the committee report which would have allowed a vote to have an up or down vote on the concurrent resolution, which in fact, also would have tabled the aforementioned resolution.
Duh.
