Some House members began questioning the procedures in the Senate and urging that more discussion is needed before a decision can be made. And reality can often bite, as the title of that 1994 rom-com starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, and Ben Stiller suggested. (OK, may be the second wouldn’t have gotten unanimous support in the House.) So the Senate decision suggested that the bill would not hit roadblocks in the House.īut then reality hit. The bill had passed via unanimous consent in the Senate, which these days doesn’t happen often, unless the need for the bill is obvious such as a bill declaring that chocolate is a good thing to exist or that space lasers haven’t been causing the California wildfires. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) was the Sponsor of this Act, which had 18 co-sponsors in the Senate consisting of 10 Republicans and eight Democrats. There was hope that the bill would go swiftly through the House after it got hefty bipartisan support in the Senate.
