U.S. Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) speaks during a news conference on March 16, 2010 in Washington, DC.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may bypass a direct roll-call vote on the Senate version of the health bill. Using what's known as a "self-executing rule" or "deem and pass," House members would vote on fixes to the Senate bill, and if passed, it would approve the Senate bill in the process. Republicans charge that the Democrats are using parliamentary tricks to pass health legislation. Both sides have used the tactic before, though not for anything as big as a health care overhaul. Are Democrats forcing the legislation through Congress?
