Actually, i'm kind of surprised more legislators don't get into fist fights. When someone can't win a debate they resort to procedural trickery to get their way, and even though i often applaud the results obtained that way it's still kind of an assholish thing to do.
"The findings have created a quandary for National Park Service and city officials planning an exhibit at the house. They are now trying to decide whether to incorporate the remains into the exhibit or go forward with plans to fill in the ruins and build an abstract display about life in the house."
Why is this even a quandary? I'm sorry if it interferes with our vision of Washington the Christlike first president of the US civic religion, but if the reality was his slaves had to pass through a tunnel so guests wouldn't see them going into and out of the house, it needs to be seen.
