Although the Republican leadership’s proposed rules were largely a copy-paste of the rules for the 118th Congress, there are some changes. One major difference has to do with the procedure for removing the Speaker, which played a key role in the 118th Congress. Previously, any single member of Congress could bring up a resolution to remove the Speaker. Now, nine Republicans have to co-sponsor such a resolution for it to be considered. This strengthens the hand of the Speaker significantly and also undermines the ability of a majority of the House of Representatives to change who is serving as Speaker.

    It seems like we had to prove something to get an ssn - for my kids I think it was just a checkbox on the birth record - we’ll take an ssn to go

      Years ago I lost my wallet with my social security card and license in it.

      My birth certificate was somewhere in the house but it had gone missing.

      I had one hell of a time getting all that unraveled.

      The MVA at the time was able to make an exception, I was able to bring them an overwhelming amount of personal documents and mail, They already have my image in the system.

      I was able to use that and other documentation times to get a birth certificate copy, then I was able to use those documents to get a replacement social security card.

      With real ID I don’t even know what you’d have to go through today to get that taken care of.
