11/x Why does mark-up take hours? The first factor is the number of amendments. The more proposed changes, the longer the process takes. Each person who puts forth an amendment is given 5 minutes to explain their amendment. Today, we expect about 40 amendments. — PolitiTweet.org

10/x Amendments must be "germane," i.e. fall under the committee's jurisdiction to amend the bill. An amendment offered today to expand paid leave for Capitol Police isn't germane. While we have to vote no, I hope my colleagues overseeing the Capitol Police consider this measure. — PolitiTweet.org

12/x The second factor is how much debate occurs. After the amendment’s author speaks, a member from the other party is recognized for up to 5 minutes, and then it alternates back and forth between members, for 5 minutes each. Then also add openings and votes. See whiteboard ⬇️ https://t.co/rnR0NiUl4k — PolitiTweet.org
