Defeat of Cannon Rule Sparks House Floor Battle
The House split 149 to 126 as 22 insurgents and most Democrats opposed Speaker Cannon in an appeal from his ruling on a rule to discharge committees. The fight centered on moving the military appropriations bill ahead of other business and tested the new rule's power to authorize discharging bills from committee. President pro tempore-like figures and party leaders clashed over recognition and procedure as the vote sealed the rule's status.
