BlockBeats News: On June 6th, US House of Representatives Congressman Thomas Massie issued a statement stating that "there is a 72 hour rule in the House that requires bills to be published within 72 hours before they are passed. However, the Speaker bypassed this rule by passing the 'Administrator's Amendment', which rewrote most of the bill and added important parts on the night of its passage by the Rules Committee. There is another rule in the House of Representatives that requires waiting for at least one day before a vote can be taken after the rules committee modifies a bill. Can you believe it? The House of Representatives surprisingly voted to suspend the so-called 'same day rule'?! This means that the final text of the bill will only be released a few minutes before the debate begins. The voting for rule changes and the voting for bills will be conducted consecutively within a few hours. Musk is right, members of Congress didn't know the content of the bill until the night it was passed. Several other legislators have also made this clear
