Cannon wielded the office of Speaker with unprecedented power. At the time of Cannon's election, the Speaker of the House concurrently held the chair of the Rules Committee, which determined under what rules and restrictions bills could be debated, amended, and voted on, and, in some cases, whether they would be allowed on the floor at all. As such, Cannon effectively controlled every aspect of the House's agenda: bills reached the floor of the house only if Cannon approved of them, and then in whatever form he determined – with Cannon himself deciding whether and to what extent the measures could be debated and amended.
On March 17, 1910, after two failed attempts to curb Cannon's absolute power in the House, Nebraska Representative George Norris led a coalition of 42 progressive Republicans and the entire delegation of 149 Democrats in a revolt.
Roosevelt cited freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear, as warfare consumed much of the rest of the planet.

Inversion. NFL guy proves the jab is safe, was m.A.L.I.C.E.'s attempt, which is typical her. She also deploying her minions across the web to argue their way out of this mess she just created.
The minute it trots out conspiracy theory you know the truth, Inversion.
She double's down here, defying logic and reason on any level. I played a metric ton of sports as a kid, zero heart attacks, zero myocarditis, and zero ffs given if one played with the flu.
Nice try you AI goon, Inversions of Inversions are in play now.
Wrong somethings rotten here. Not saying the player didn’t get hit and have a issue but… 1) the lic. plate isn’t registered to the ambulance service 2) it not the ambulances used by UofCinci hospital 3) NFL has a gag order on players not to speak 4) Feds at hosp. em.
