By making a small, subtle&nbsp;change in the process — requiring amendments to be pre-printed in the <em>Congressional Record </em>— the Majority has effectively changed the playing field to restrict the ability of Members to offer amendments to improve bills on the floor.</span>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://rules-republicans.house.gov/ShortTopics/Read.aspx?ID=278As the 110th Congress concludes, the Committee on Rules Republican Members released this report on the new Democratic Majority's record of openness in their first Congress in control <br>in 12 years.Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT
