Pelosi wants ethics probe into budget bill error Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=4512779&nav=9qrx http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=4512779&nav=9qrx Pelosi wants ethics probe into budget bill error CAPITOL HILL House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling for an ethics committee investigation concerning the budget bill signed by President Bush this month. In particular, the California Democrat says the version signed by Bush is "invalid" because it only passed the Senate. At issue is a Senate clerk's error in a provision of the bill involving the period of time the government pays to rent some types of medical equipment. The Senate voted for 13 months but a Senate clerk erroneously put down 36 months. The error was corrected in the Senate's version by the time the bill was shipped to President Bush but it wasn't corrected in the House version. Earlier, the White House and G-O-P leaders said it was a technical mistake and the matter was settled. However, Pelosi calls it a Republican "abuse of power." She says G-O-P leaders "chose to ignore House rules precedents." Copyright 2006 Associated Press.
