Two Republican lawmakers voted present on the rule governing debate over repealing healthcare reform.

The pair technically broke with fellow Republicans, all of whom otherwise voted in favor of the rule.

The rule passed 236-181-2, a key test vote of next Wednesday's scheduled vote to repeal President Obama's bill. 

Update, 12:06 p.m.: It turns out that the pair to vote present were the two lawmakers who missed their own swearings-in on Wednesday: Reps. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.).
