Government Shut Down

It's hard to follow all this. I don't want to invest the time.

Didn't the Republicans change the rules so Cantor is the only one who can bring a bill? They know that the majority of the House has gone on record that they would support the Senate bill to fund the government and debt, and so to keep moderate Republicans from submitting that bill, they changed the rules so that only Cantor can do it. They want him to be in charge.

I honestly don't know what power Boehner has left. What is his power?
