Pelosi postpones plans for historic change in House voting after Republicans object

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi abruptly postponed plans Wednesday to change the House rules this week to allow a form of remote voting for the first time in the chamber’s 230-year history after Republicans raised objections to a plan meant to reconcile the need for legislative action with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Instead, Pelosi told fellow House Democratic leaders on a Wednesday morning conference call, the issue would be closely studied by a bipartisan group led by Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

Pelosi’s decision, described by two Democratic aides familiar with the call Wednesday, comes as GOP lawmakers in both the House and Senate have increasingly called for Congress to return to Washington and begin plotting a return to business as usual — echoing calls from conservative activists and some Republican governors who have advocated loosening the stay-at-home guidelines supported by public health officials.

She and other Democrats literally want to run away from their responsibilities so they can hide out in their mansions and limousines.

Sometimes she appears to be half drunk, sometimes she appears to have a bad hangover, she always appears bat crap crazy.

Pelosi is one vile, evil creature.

When some Republican Senators went home to self-quarantine, the Democrats laughed about taking out a couple of votes.

IF the teenager and senior employees can show up at the grocery store, if FedX and UPS drivers are delivering packages, if the military is still on duty....then the demoncrats can get their butts back to Washington and do the one thing they’re paid to do: VOTE.

Nothing to study

You need a certain quorum and that is the end of discussion

Since Pelosi has refused to convene Congress to block funds for small business instead sending all of congress home for a week or two she has proven that Congress is Non-Essential.

Just let Trump rule by Executive order like she enabled Obama to do.

Or is she simply a partisan hack? (Retorical)

My guess is she went home to enable a bidding war on the next Pork delivery.

Pelosi, Bribery is a Crime...

I want to see Trump apologize to her after she, as a high risk person got COVID-19 after returning to DC and then laugh his ass off and say, “put some ice cream on it Nancy!”

Pelosi has finally been exposed for the cunning idiot she is. Her success has always been due her agility at the sleight of hand. Her idiocy is her belief she, and her Democrat darlings can, and will get away with whatever she, and they focus group on.

This President is wise to their dirty bag of tricks, and takes them head on. He wins, they lose.

Here’s to his continuing success.

Nancy is living in a prison of her own making.

Look at her pathetic life.

It’s impossible for me to feel sorry for her.

She’s Golum, Golum with a face lift, skin as tight as a war drum.

Consumed with triteness and meaningless endeavor.

Hey Nancy, this isn’t a dress rehearsal. There are no do overs.

The President should just threaten to dissolve the POS Congress. They should not be making ANY money right now like the rest of us and our country.

I think the Rs should all show up and stand behind PDJT at the next presser and ‘demand’ that the Ds get their hind parts back to work so they can try and get this mess cleaned up.

I know you can’t shame a LIB but it doesn’t/won’t hurt to point out where the real problems are.

PDJT should also parse this next ‘bill’ and pull all the pork out of it.

Of course he has to lead in with I am doing this to make sure there are no more Harvard or Kennedy Center mistakes and we are also closing the loop hole on BIG BUSINESS taking all the small business money.

If they vote remotely, first they need a quorum confirmed with SSN, DL# and DOB and second every vote must be recorded and confirmed in writing by the Rep.

Send them the bill in a pdf for a pre-vote review with an initial for each page included.

Nothing less.
