Political Factoid
Under the Hastert rule,
used by Republicans when
they control the House of
Representatives,
the Speaker of the House
never allows a vote on a
bill unless a majority of
Republicans* favor the bill.

Even if a majority of the entire House
favors the bill, the bill is never allowed
to come to a vote unless a majority
of Republicans support it.
