Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

OK.

House protocol is indeed that the Speaker is elected first, then the swearing in!

“Members-elect of the U.S. House of Representatives typically take the Oath of Office on the House Floor on the first day of a new Congress, immediately after the Speaker of the House has been elected and sworn in.”

A man’s gotta believe in something. I want my horse$sit delivered by a singing pony praising the GOP and grinding it’s kneepads to dust.

You call me a purist? I’ll bear that burden. ;)

> New members all voted without being sworn in.

Is that proper?

Actually thats a good meme for the Freeper Left. Singing ponies grinding their kneepads into dust.

Fits them perfectly.

Mark Walker, R-NC.

Ran and won as an anti-establishment conservative in retiring Howard Coble's district.

Criticized Boehner during the campaign.

Voted for Boehner today.

Yes. Long standing House protocol.

Don’t know the reason.

What tune should we put that Meme Song to??

Methinks it is going to come in handy the next 2 years.

Holmes-Norton (DC) forcing a vote on whether she and other delegates (5D 1R) should be unconstitutionally allowed to vote on the House floor.

Thanks for researching that.

Each house of the government makes their own rules.

We all live in a “yellow submarine” seems like a good fit, with special emphasis on the color YELLOW and it’s various entendres, in particular the meaning as cowardice.

I believe DC and Puerto Rico and some other island territories have non-voting delegates.

I feel pretty from West Side Story...

“I wear kneepads”
“Pretty wear Kneepads”
“They’re so pretty, and witty and gay!”

Etc...

“I’m a proud drooling RINO Today!”

I really don’t care whether a pol wants illegals to take a vacation home to see their family before receiving amnesty—it is still amnesty and it will do our country in.

Back to GOP HQ I presume.

We do not have party registration in my state and I have never sent ANY party a cent. So, that straw man is in flames.
