Procedurally, what does he need to do to make this happen? Can any
member of the house do it? Can the Speaker do this on his own, does
it require a vote of the rules committee, the full house, or what?
Also, the Supremes often use legislative history when making rulings.
What would they do in a case like this? Is there any precedent?
I'm wondering if there's some way to take advantage of having so many
cooks.
Also, when was the last time there was a classified briefing on the
house floor like this? I would think that something so unusual would
cause some eyebrows to raise even outside the pro-crypto community.
