From The Hill Newspaper:
"It is definitely a steep hill to climb to get two-thirds of the members of the House," Rep. Goodlatte said on C-SPAN.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said Wednesday morning that Republicans almost have enough votes to pass a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution this week, but are not quite at the 290-vote mark needed for passage.
"It is definitely a steep hill to climb to get two-thirds of the members of the House," Goodlatte said on C-SPAN. "We're close, but we're not there yet." . . .
