How Democracy was suspended in the House of Representatives...
Late in the evening on September 30, 2013, the Republicans in the House Rules Committee changed the Rules of the House so that the ONLY Member allowed to call up the Senate's clean CR for a vote was the Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor or his designee -- all but guaranteeing that once the government was shut down it would stay shut down. Previously, any Member would have had the right to bring the CR up for a vote. Democracy was suspended in the House of Representatives by the GOP.
