Answer:

D. Filing for a discharge petition

Explanation:

The best course of action for the congressman to take is 'the filing for a discharge petition'.

Normally, when a bill is introduced by a member of the House of Representatives, the speaker sends the bill to the relevant committee who then deliberate on it, seek expert advice etc. After the deliberations, the bill is then sent to the house for debate and possible voting for onward movement to the senate if passed by the majority.

In the event that the bill is stalled in the committee, the sponsor can file for a discharge petition. A discharge petition involves bringing out a bill from the committee that has spent at least thirty (30) days, without waiting for a report from the committee. To successfully file for a discharge petition, the sponsor must garner at least two hundred and eighteen votes (218) votes which is a clear majority.

There are many benefits to using folders when working with lots of files.  Here are a few examples:

- You can use folders to sort your files by type, almost like drawers in a desk, so you might have folders for Music, Photographs, Documents, etc.

- You can use folders to group files together into a specific group.  For example in your Photographs folder you might have a folder titled BirthdayPhotographs for all the photographs from your birthday.

- As in the example above you can nest folders to create sub-categories.  Documents might include folders for Homework, Stories, Poems

- Folders can have different permissions applied to them, allowing you to keep personal files in a private folder only you can access, or secret files in a folder that doesn't show up in the normal list of folders!
