Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name, among nine others, to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. That means there was no roll-call vote so no member can be held accountable.

What are the House and Senate rules for demanding a recorded vote? Can the Dems just have a voice vote whenever they feel like it, or can one member raise a point of order and demand a recorded vote. If the second, then I am even more disgusted than usual at the Republicans who have Potomac Fever and don't want to make waves. Everything Congress does should have a recorded vote. I don't want a resolution naming Broccoli Appreciation Day passed on a voice vote, much less giving away nearly a trillion dollars of our nations treasure.

I called Vionivich’s office this week to inquire as to the senators view on this bill. The staffer replied the bill was not ready for vote and therefore ol George did not have a view. I left my comments knowing it does not matter to these elites. I bet you when it is all said and done, Vionivich will vote yea....
