As /u/Droen pointed out: power to override this in the House has been concentrated to Cantor or his designee.
The members of the Republican Party who are doing this, aren't doing it to inflate their chances to run for a position in the US Federal government later, they're not doing it to cater to their "constituencies", they're not doing it over Obamacare.
They are doing it explicitly to destroy the US Federal government. They want the Constitutional protections of fed.gov to disappear, forever. They want the Fourteenth amendment to disappear, forever. They want the EPA to disappear, forever.
They want to have 50 independent countries with no other laws that pertain to them but the ones that the 50 independent countries hammer out between themselves and for themselves from now on.
They want the lawful ability to tell people without a specific lack of skin colour to be out of town before dark.
They want the lawful ability to tell people who aren't White Anglo-Saxon Protestant to move out of town, and seize their homes and vehicles.
They want the lawful ability to starve and deny medical care to anyone infected with HIV.
They want the lawful ability to put in place and enforce sodomy laws.
They want the lawful ability to force businesses to close on Sundays.
They want the ability to destroy the NSA, and its data-gathering apparatus on telecommunications.
They want the ability to invalidate treaties that the US has made with foreign powers.
They want the ability to mine coal and natural gas and petroleum without safety and environmental overhead.
They want to destroy the modern cultural entertainment industry - music, movies, books, pornography - or at least burn what's in their jurisdiction to do so and close their borders to more.
They want to bring back indentured servitude explicitly.
They want to close their borders to labour outsourcing.
They want the explicit legal standing to punish women who don't conform to their expectations of what women should do and how they should behave and who and when they have s*x and / or have children.
They want fifty individual countries, each of which the citizens have no recourse outside of state law for their justice. They want rule by local majority, instead of rule by law - and they are willing to kill the United States of America to get it.
