Parliamentary tactic may let House Dems keep Homeland Security open.

Parliamentary tactic may let House Dems keep Homeland Security open. CQ Roll Call:

"...any House lawmaker, arguing that a conference scenario is moot and won't be resolved before the clock runs out on the current extension of DHS funding, could take to the floor and move that the House recedes from its previous position and concurs in the Senate amendment. Because such a motion is 'privileged' that would then trigger a vote on sending the Senate-amended full year Homeland Security appropriations bill to Obama's desk without any of those riders designed to block his executive actions on immigration."
