Why not start a discharge petition for both the CR and debt ceiling? [View all]

If a clean CR and raising the debt ceiling were brought to the house floor, it would pass with democratic votes and sane republicans. While I know there are certain waiting periods with a discharge petition, why not get one started for both the CR and debt ceiling. This would at least start to put pressure on the Speaker to bring up the votes.
