Would a CRA force a House vote as well?
(The House has another procedure called a discharge petition to force votes on things that are supported by a majority of representatives but opposed by a majority of the majority party -- it seems unlikely that there are enough votes in the House to force a net neutrality vote, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_petition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_petition)

It's not clear to me if the Senate would vote first, and, if the vote fails, whether the House would also be required to vote.
