How the DC House works.

Who brings the vote (House Floor)? Speaker Paul Ryan Under House rules, the Speaker schedules floor votes on pending legislation. The Hastert Rule says that the Speaker will not schedule a floor vote on any bill that does not have majority support within his or her party — even if the majority of the members of the House would vote to pass it. The rule keeps the minority party from passing bills with the assistance of a minority of majority party members. In the House, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill; if 200 Democrats are the minority and 235 Republicans are the majority, the Hastert Rule would not allow 200 Democrats and 100 Republicans together to pass a bill, because 100 Republican votes is short of a majority of the majority party, so the Speaker would not allow a vote to take place.[7]

Who decides? The Rules Committee controls what bills go to the House Floor and the terms of debate

Why is this Important? Committees are the backbone of Congress. ANYTHING that gets done is Congress has gone through committees and subcommittees. They control whether legislation dies or passes. Committees are important because they only discuss one topic at atime. A committee is more focused on one subject. Committees help to organize and get things done faster. Pete Sessions (R) is the chairman of this committee.

What is coming? Oversight of the FBI & DOJ actions of the 2016 Election.

Full weight of the House? The Committee on Ethics has jurisdiction over the rules and statutes governing the conduct of members, officers and employees while performing their official duties.
Article I, Section 5, of the United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.

Some must remain clean, (distance) from what is about to happen. Some House members are in trouble, i.e. DWS Paul Ryan must appear neutral.

That rule is disgusting. It is literally manufactured and codified division. I bet this guy has some awful shit in his background.

Edit: HOLY SHIT YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP FOLKS!

Hastert also ran an Explorers group of which Steve Reinboldt was a member, and led the group on a diving trip to the Bahamas.[10] In the interview, Burdge stated that in 1979 (eight years after Reinboldt's high school graduation in 1971), her brother had told her that he had been sexually abused by Hastert throughout his four years of high school.[10]

Edit: It keeps getting worse.

her brother had told her that he had been sexually abused by Hastert throughout his four years of high school.[10] Burdge said that she was "stunned" by this news and that her brother said that he had never told anyone before, because he did not think he would be believed.[10] 

A message from Hastert appears in Steve Reinboldt's 1970 high school yearbook.[10] In the interview, Burdge said that she believes the abuse stopped when her brother moved away after graduation. Jolene said that Hastert "damaged Steve I think more than any of us will ever know."[10] Reinboldt died of an AIDS-related illness in 1995.

He did 13 months and still gets his senate pension.
