does the Sergeant of Arms need to obey her orders
Obviously, Johnson is not on board or he would have appeared at the press conference to announce it himself.
This is a creative attempt to force him to twist arms with the Repub squishes that wish it would all just go away.
Nice job!
According to a source:
The authority of the Sergeant at Arms (SaA)is primarily related to maintaining order within the House of Representatives itself and ensuring the safety and security of its members and staff. The jurisdiction of the SaA is limited to the Capitol building and immediate surroundings. The SaA can enforce rules of the House and issue warrants for individuals who violate House rules, such as failing to appear before a committee when subpoenaed.
Arrest authority involving individuals outside of the House chamber or Capitol grounds is with the Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies.
i am willing to obey her orders if the sgt at arms is not.
SOTHOR would have to give the orders.
