Types of Problems at Nursing Homes. Some issues within a nursing home are much more severe than others. Medicare evaluates each problem based on 2 scales: the number of residents affected by a problem and the severity of the potential or actual harm to residents based on the problem.
House of Representatives. The House may use either of the methods used by the Senate, though roll-call votes are rare. Alternately, the House of Representatives may take a standing division vote or a recorded vote. Generally, the Speaker of the House chooses the voting method, though votes must be by the recorded method if one-fifth of Congress requests it. In a division vote, the ayes and noes are asked to stand.
Blue Slips One way in which senatorial courtesy has manifested itself is something called the âblue slip.â 35 This is a device used by the Senate Judiciary Committee to communicate with the home-state Senators about a nomination to the U.S. courts of appeal or district courts, or to be a U.S. marshal or U.S. attorney.he Senators check off the appropriate box on the sheet â either approve or disapprove â and return the paper to the Judiciary Committee. The blue slip process is used only by the Senate Judiciary Committee â no other Senate committee uses it for other kinds of nominations.
