Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, has nullified a rogue floor procedural move he pulled off with Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) that raised questions about whether he would face any consequences.

While presiding over the House chamber in a pro forma session on Election Day, when leaders were scattered across the country, Harris approved a motion from Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) to kill required consideration of a Social Security bill that drew criticism from conservatives.

Harris broke from the directions of House staff in approving Good’s unanimous consent request, a major break of protocol for the sessions that are typically only minutes long and have no significant legislative activity, but are held for constitutional reasons.
