It would take an act of god for this legislation to be blocked with the momentum we have going.

15 more in the House to get past Obama's veto.

(though I do believe that if Obama vetoed it, no Democrat would vote to override it)

More importantly than that, 290 is also the mark to suspend the rules.

What does that mean "the mark to suspend the rules"?

I believe the mark to suspend the rules is the point at which it can no longer be buried in committee, it must be brought to the floor. (This is an educated guess, not fact)

In that case, the mark is 218 House members signing a discharge petition.
