There is such a thing on the House called a Discharge Petition that can be called at any time which brings a bill out to the floor to be debated and voted on with just a simple instant majority of the house. This was created to counter a committee head being the lone person stopping a bill from going to the floor. In addition, Pelosi couldn't stop it either.
Just think about this for a second... The committee chair doesn't want it to come out and the speaker of the house doesn't want it either, because it's anti-Obama Administration planning. But 2/3rds of the House overthrow those two and pass the bill at a rate that can't even be vetoed by Obama. This is REAL politicking. God help this happen!
