You’d think it would be a no-brainer, especially in the week before Mother’s Day, and even in a chamber unable to agree on almost anything. But 33 House members, including retiring Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, voted against creating a bipartisan commission to study the idea of putting a women’s history museum on the National Mall.
