Washington reports that since 1789 the House has struggled with how to move bills efficiently. The Rules Committee wields life and death authority over measures, shaping when they reach the floor for a vote and how debate unfolds.
In 1910 Democrats and Republicans joined to curtail Speaker Cannon's powers, stripping him of control over the Rules Committee and preventing him from chairing it. The move allowed the Rules Committee to set its own procedures, gradually bottling up legislation and limiting the speaker's influence.
The House voted to allow any committee chair who has new legislation held 21 days to go before the speaker for a vote. The move restores some authority to Speaker John McCormack but dismays Rules Committee Chairman Howard W. Smith. Proponents argue Johnson’s key bills gain momentum with McCormack aligned.
