Wouldn’t that poor woman clerk who calls the roll be required to be on duty all the time.....no holiday for HER and her family? (Does Saturday and Sunday also count for Congress still being in session?)

When you make the big bucks you sometimes have to be inconvenienced.... lol

Their rules are very tedious and I’d have to go look them up regarding days etc. However they can operate on what is called a ‘legislative day’ and that can extend beyond what we would consider a 24 hour day. Also they can go into recess for some period of time subject to call, etc.

This may occur but I think Reid is trying to negotiate some other appointments with the WH. If it does occur it won’t be nothing more than perfunctory actions to satisfy the requirements of the rules.

She doesn't matter. These are demorats--they don't give a squat about such "little' people.

She can do it for her country. At least she won’t lose any limbs in the process.
