Also encourage them to start or participate in a discharge petition if necessary, which overrides the committee and the Speaker pursuant to House Rule 7.12.In the Senate, urge them to make an effort to withdraw the bill from committee pursuant to Senate Rule 12-20. At the same time, you'll need them to urge the President Pro Tempore to place it on the Senate Floor Calendar rather than reassigning it to another committee.Have any of these overrides ever worked in the past? I don't know.</blockquote>
