House Speaker hopeful Rep. Gary Palmer is out with five policy commitments he believes all nine speaker candidates should adhere to.
EXCLUSIVE: One of the nine House Republicans running for speaker is out with a list of five commitments he is calling on his fellow contenders for the gavel to commit to. Republican Policy Committee Chair Gary Palmer, R-Ala., released the policy outline less than an hour before House GOP lawmakers are retreating behind closed doors to hear from the speaker candidates.
Under Palmer’s plan, the House could not bring any legislation sent from the Senate after July 30 if all 12 appropriations bills have not been passed by then. It would also stop the House from recessing after July 31 if the 12 individual spending bills have not been passed – with a possible override for national security reasons via a two-thirds vote of the House. It comes after ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
He also called to 'decentralize the legislative process and prioritize individual members’ policy priorities' in uniting the conference before a House-wide vote.
