WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. House Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner said Friday he does not want to have "hard rules and hard walls" on what bills get to the floor.
Boehner, R-Ohio, said he does not plan to bring back the "majority of the majority" policy of the last Republican speaker, Dennis Hastert of Illinois, The Hill reported. Hastert would only bring bills up for votes if a majority of the Republican Congress approved.
