Rules Committee Spikes Denham's Amnesty Amendment From NDAA Debate: No Floor Vote To Happen

Rules Committee Spikes Denham's Amnesty Amendment From NDAA Debate: No Floor Vote To Happen: The House Rules Committee wielded its enormous and quiet power late Tuesday evening to kill an effort from Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) to grant amnesty to illegal alien DREAMers who enlist in the military via the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Via the House Resolution that sets the overarching rules of debate on the House floor for the NDAA, which was offered by committee chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and approved by voice vote late Tuesday, the Rules Committee categorically rejected Denham’s effort to offer an amendment containing his ENLIST Act language.
