After a procedural snafu last night, the House officially passed tax reform this morning. Now the bill goes to President Trump's desk to be signed into law.
Jack Hunter, Editor at Rare Politics, explains what happened that forced the House to vote on the bill for a second time.

The Senate claimed that the House violated those rules in multiple ways.
