“The suspension bills that we’ve been voting on have essentially passed overwhelmingly with 400 votes or more on almost every one,” Hoyer said.
This week, 23 bills were put on the suspension calendar. Republicans requested roll call votes on 18 of the 20 debated Monday, two of which the House passed that night. The other 16 were rolled into Tuesday.
If the House had to vote individually on all 16 of those bills, it would take around eight hours. Hoyer said the en bloc authority will allow him to move to pass all 16 of those bills with a single vote, saving about seven and a half hours of voting time.
“By adopting through one vote, the en bloc, maybe 16 bills, those bills would still go to the Senate individually, but they would be simply voted upon with one vote,” the majority leader said.
Three other bills that were put on the suspension calendar this week have not yet been debated, although one is scheduled to be later Tuesday. Those measures are more controversial and will not be part of the en bloc vote, Hoyer said.
