House Failing To Pass The Legislation ‘Just A Temporary Delay’ U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the Rotor Act will become law and the House vote against the bill is just a temporary setback. Although the ROTOR Act did not meet the procedural threshold for expedited consideration under House rules, a strong majority of House members did vote in favor of the bill, highlighting the legislation’s broad bipartisan support. Combined with the unanimous passage of the bill in the Senate, the House vote of 264-133 makes clear that Congress overwhelmingly supports enactment of the bill, Cruz stated.
