The House will have to
revote on the bill it passed this afternoon due to procedural violations.
Several provisions in
the House-passed overhaul appear to violate the procedural rules of the Senate
according to Democrats and the Senate will need to vote on whether to waive the
rules and keep those provisions in the bill, which takes 60 votes. Republicans
will most likely lose those votes, striking the contested provisions from the
bill and changing the language of the legislation. After the bill gets a final
stamp of approval in the Senate, the bill will return to the house for a
revote, likely Wednesday morning.
The vote will likely
take place Wednesday. The Senate is still expected to take up the bill later tonight.

Sorry, Dems, you'll have to dramatically die all over again. More clutching and staggering around the room this time, please. https://t.co/EQwAOsw6nm— Cuffy (@CuffyMeh) December 19, 2017
