The 100 hour agenda: How did they do it?

House Democrats recently completed their much ballyhooed “100 Hour Agenda.”

In less time than it took Speaker Nancy Pelosi to pick out a set of South Seas and Tahitian pearls, the new majority rammed through a series of six bills that will have a tougher time getting through the Senate.

So how’d they do it - other than by bypassing the committee process and regular order of the House?

The first 100 hours officially began at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 9, finishing a little after 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 18. For those without a calculator, that’s 222 hours.

But Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s “official” clock pegged their time at 42.5 hours.

We guess that the Democrats first order of business was suspending the laws of space and time.
