"No one in the speaker's office ? not the speaker, not any staff ? signed off on the date the White House announced today," said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck. "Unfortunately we weren't even asked if that date worked for the House. Shortly before it arrived this morning, we were simply informed that a letter was coming. It's unfortunate the White House ignored decades ? if not centuries ? of the protocol of working out a mutually agreeable date and time before making any public announcement."
