Waters hasn’t been present in Congress for months but Raskin has continued to cast her votes. This is similar to Kay Granger a Texas congresswoman that for 5 months was absent from Congress before being found living in a senior facility with memory care for dementia. Her votes had not stopped either. Term limits would eliminate this corrupt system.

Nancy??? NANCY???? LOOK INTO THIS!
How can you vote if you’re not there?
This is a serious 10th amendment violation.
The 10th amendment reserves to the states, or to the people, rights not delegated to the federal government.
The right to choose their own representation is a right of the people. When Maxine Waters' vote is being cast via proxy by Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the people of Waters' district are no longer be represented; Maryland is voting in California's name.
The proxy vote is not Waters' to give away, the vote belongs to the people of her district who selected Waters - not Raskin - to vote in their name. The 10th amendment does not give a member of the House the right to trade their vote as if it were a commodity; if she cannot vote it herself, the people of her district have the right to ask her to step down and let another representative from the district be elected to vote the interests of the people being represented - the people of her district and not Raskin's.
