However, in my last term, House Republicans offered Motions to Recommit in bad faith, to force “gotcha” votes. This year, House rules were changed so that MTRs send bills back to the committees they originate from—delaying votes or killing bills entirely. — PolitiTweet.org

The minority party can offer a Motion to Recommit just before we vote on final passage of a bill. If the MTR is adopted, the text of the bill is revised. Historically, MTRs were offered by Members “friendly” to the bill, as a way to correct errors in the text. — PolitiTweet.org

I came to Congress to do the work and get families help. But House Republicans use Motions to Recommit as procedural maneuvers to stop progress on critical legislation instead of trying to improve policy. Don’t take my word for it; look at their own memo: https://t.co/nLilqAHRqn — PolitiTweet.org
