they need to run a hearing before they bring it before the house to decide if they are going to vote on it.

How do they decide whether to have a vote?

Is mr. Bachus an actual elected congressman? Or in other words, is it possible that more than 50% voted for him over any other person? I'm sure John Stewart working with Monty Python(nor Douglas Adams if we dug him up) couldn't have made a better character than mr Bachus.
