This is a "take it or leave it" proposition. That means no upordown votes on controversial provisions that Members of the House and Senate as of 36 hours ago had no idea were going to be in this bill. There will be no upordown vote on the Presidents controversial Green Climate Fund. the unpopular and unwise cyber security measure. the divisive rules promoted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. and the backdoor tweaks to the H2B immigration visa programall hidden within the pages of this bill. none of which saw the light of day. none of which saw committee action. none of which had the opportunity to be debated and discussed and changed. improved. amended until 36 hours ago and still will have no opportunity to be changed. improved. or amended even after they hit the floor. We will not have a chance to add the priorities of the more than 500 Members of Congress who were not in the negotiating room. So all Members who werent there are left out of the process altogether.
