Unanimous consent or Congress returns for a roll call vote

Payroll tax deal: Will House frosh comply? - Marin Cogan - POLITICO.com: "That’s the open question looming over the 11th hour deal to extend the payroll tax holiday by two months — agreed to by House GOP leaders after facing extreme pressure from Congressional Democrats and the White House.

At least two House freshmen left open the possibility that they would object to the unanimous consent to extend the tax holiday by two months while congressional conferees work out a year-long deal.

Alabama freshman Rep. Mo Brooks, who voted against the initial year-long deal passed by House Republicans, said he was “not yet sure,” whether he’d protest the deal. Protesting would require the House to reconvene for a roll call vote."
