With proxy voting, there's none of that. Nanzi gets to say how they vote. Period.
Constitution empowers each chamber of Congress to set its own procedural rules.
Ok make proxy voting not to be counted.
I have no problem with congress critters voting from their own district. As it stands now, Americans can watch the elected officials from the balcony inside the chambers of Congress.
I say, if they want to vote from their home district, let them, but they MUST allow ALL citizens watch them cast their ballot. Maybe even a post-vote interview would be needed.
THIS time, it won’t be by water.
Just one of the many perks of being a Congresscritter I suppose.
The first time Pelousy became Speaker she ‘ran’ (controlled) the House of Representatives just the way she does today. There are no committees, or sub-committees, or any other regular order procedures. Pelousy simply closes her office door, creates whatever monstrosity of ‘legislation’ she and her minions desire. Then, any democRAT who dares to not support her, well, they will soon discover that no support will be forthcoming for their next re-election. Only just very recently have a few dared to challenge Pelousy.
