A group of House Democrats told pro tem Speaker Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., that they would be open to expanding his authority to pass needed bills.
"In light of our nation's pressing issues, a looming government shutdown, and the attacks on our key ally, Israel, we strongly support an immediate vote to expand the Speaker Pro Tempore's authorities to all for the consideration of a legislative agenda limited to the most pressing issues," the letter read.
They also proposed McHenry be allowed to introduce suspension of the rules, if evenly distributed among the majority and minority caucuses, to "help us avoid Rules Committee gridlock."
