20. Now I'm totally confused...Cong. Record page H5088 June 9, 2008
Kucinich announced his intent to raise a question of the privileges of the House.

Under Rule IX (not Rule XI, I never said I was good at Roman numerals) "A resolution offered from the floor by a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner other than the Majority Leader or the Minority Leader as a question of the privileges of the House shall have precedence of all other questions except motions to adjourn only at a time or place, designated by the Speaker, in the legislative schedule within two legislative days after the day on which the proponent announces to the House his intention to offer the resolution and the form of the resolution.

So if DK announced his intent to raise the question on 6/9, why was the bill not introduced until 6/10? I'm so confused
