Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) took House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to task over the lower chamber’s tyrannical mask mandate that went into effect this week. Capitol Police have been instructed to arrest visitors and staff members who refuse to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
Mace dared Pelosi to “come and get” her after blasting the tyrannical mandate as a "power grab."
"I had COVID, I’ve had two vaccinations, I’m washing my hands, I’m even wearing my mask inside the chamber, but I’m not going to wear it anywhere else. So Madam Speaker, come and get me," Mace said.
Madam Speaker, your insane power grab is showing. Today I’m not wearing a mask outside of the chamber b/c I follow science — not Pelosi. Come and get me. pic.twitter.com/7vDNn4Tzke— Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) July 29, 2021
This morning Capitol Hill Police were directed to arrest anyone not wearing a mask. This is nuts. ?? ?? ?? https://t.co/pyXt343UEp— Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) July 29, 2021
The speaker's updated guidance comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that individuals mask up, even if vaccinated, indoors to slow the spread of the Delta variant. House Republicans as a whole are pushing back on Pelosi's newest mandate, noting that only the House reinstated a mask mandate while the Senate did not thus far.
.@GOPLeader responds to @SpeakerPelosi calling him a “moron” in response to his criticism of the House mask mandate.
“Well if she’s so brilliant can she tell me where the science in the building changes between the House and the Senate?” he said. (H/t @AnnieGrayerCNN)— Daniella Diaz (@DaniellaMicaela) July 28, 2021
She follows science but had COVID AND got the vax? SMH
In the Rules of the House of Representatives, the word "arrest" only appears three times in regards to quorum and voting.
A search for 'Sergeant-at-Arms" returns rules on maintaining floor privileges, impose fines for recording the proceedings on smartphones, and report ethics violations to members.
Conversely, the Constitution explicitly gives Congress immunity from arrest.
Article I Section 6:
They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.The Speaker's powers are not superior to the Constitution. I don't think she has the power to order the arrest of members who refuse to wear a mask. Congressmen have immunity from arrest on the House floor.
Instead of saying "come and get me," why doesn't she just defiantly cite the Constitution instead and dare Pelosi to comment about it?

‘Definition of hypocrisy’: Fined GOP rep slams Pelosi’s ‘unscientific’ mask rule!
Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., sounds off on video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi not wearing a mask after he was fined for not wearing one on the House floor.
A maskless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., mingled indoors at a White House event Thursday while still enforcing coronavirus mask mandates on the House floor that amount to $500 fines.
Republicans balking at Pelosi’s continued House mask requirements – despite new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – called out the Democratic leader for a double standard.
“This is the definition of hypocrisy,” Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., told “Fox and Friends” on Friday. Green, a veteran, West Point graduate and physician, is among the several GOP lawmakers fined $500 this week for not wearing a mask on the House floor. Subsequent violations could reach $2,500.
PELOSI SLAMS UNVACCINATED LAWMAKERS, SAYS SHE NEEDS TO ENSURE HOUSE FLOOR ISN’T ‘PETRI DISH’ FOR COVID
“Leadership 101 at West Point for me 35 years ago, the first thing they teach you is you never ask people to do something you as the leader aren’t willing to do,” Green said. “And here she is in the House at the speaker’s rostrum, not wearing a mask. She goes to the White House, not wearing a mask.”
Pelosi went maskless Thursday at the White House during an East Room celebration to sign a new COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law with President Biden. She was spotted hugging and mingling freely at the event and did not observe social distancing protocols.
A spokesperson for Pelosi noted that the official White House guidance for the event said that fully vaccinated guests would not be required to wear masks or socially distance. Non-vaccinated guests were asked to wear masks and keep their distance from others. White House guests were also tested for coronavirus before entering the event.
“The Speaker was required to attest to her vaccination status and required to submit a negative test result in order to attend this event,” Drew Hammill, spokesperson for Pelosi, told Fox News.
The CDC issued new guidance last week saying that masks are not necessary for fully vaccinated people in most circumstances. While the White House followed by lifting its mask requirement, the House did not. Pelosi has relaxed mask guidance so that members could take their face covering off when they were recognized to speak on the floor.
Meanwhile, there is no mask rule in the Senate chamber.

Sorry she doesn't meet your strict purity test.
Hey, you and your master pure political race probably make up about 2% of the population.
Good luck at the polls with that.

The democrats are experts at REDEFINING the intent of words.
“Not wearing a mask” can be considered a felony in their eyes.

Pelosi really believes that she’s the The Queen. Third in line for the Presidency. Kinda makes you wonder what’s coming next.......
What? You took what I said, spun it around, injected it with steroids, gave it growth hormone, locked it in a basement for 10 years calling it Obama, and made it call you daddy.
She’s saying she follows the science. Science says the naturally recovered don’t need the vaccine. In many cases, the vaccine can exacerbate issues in the naturally recovered. I stand by her stance, but don’t claim you support science if you’re picking and choosing what science you support.
Woof!
Are you saying I'm your daddy?
Don’t know anything about her but I carry her spray cans.
bump
I mean, yeah. You spun me around. I’m all roided out of my mind, daddy. LOL
Keep Nancy angry , irritated and waving her arms around maybe she’ll finally implode
Nancy just wants it because she has a whole new line of masks to match her outfits. Plus, she can use it to hide the wrinkles around her mouth and her turkey neck.
Does it really matter? Rep Mace is one of the vaccinated, doomed to die in three years along with all of the vaxed. /S
Messaging matters. The left loves to nitpick. We should be doing what we can to shore up our flank before firing indiscriminately.
