Boehner is saying there are not enough votes, they should prove it and let the bill go to the floor and see what happens. Hold a vote, call a vote right now and lets see what happens. Our nbc news count showing as many as 22 republicans would join democrats to provide more than the 217 votes needed to pass a clean spending bill.
