By forwarding a writ of discharge petition.

Explanation:

Discharge petition is a process of getting a bill out of the House Rules Committee and bringing it back to the floor. In a discharge petition, the committee that rejected the bill is discharged from making any considerations to the bill. Discharge petitions are usually forwarded when certain bills get refused to be introduced in the U. S House of Representatives by the chair of the House Rules Committee. Therefore, the best course of action that the member of the House of Representatives can do when a bill gets killed in the House Rules Committee is to forward a writ of discharge petition.
