For the first time ever, US lawmakers are reportedly going to let a sitting senator bring a child onto the Senate floor while the chamber is in session.
Senate leaders are expected to approve a resolution filed by Sen. Tammy Duckworth — the first senator to give birth while in office — that would allow her new baby girl to accompany her for the next few months, according to Politico.
The request will ultimately let senators bring children under a year old onto the Senate floor.
Duckworth (D-Ill.) told the website before her daughter was born that new mothers couldn’t be away from their infant “in the first three months” for that long.

I thought all Demonrat babies were aborted.
She also says women have the right to serve in combat. So Tammy, are gals getting pulled off the line, leaing their unit reduced, or are their babies going to be in the trenches with them?
Literally on the government tit ......
Maybe she could hold her baby while she debates funding for Planned Parenthood.
That will raise the maturity level in the Senate.
With the damage the commie ‘RATS have already done to “congress”, I don’t see how another miniature, crying and screaming ‘RAT is going to hurt anything.
Political stunt but who would have the stones to oppose it.
The kid will have a full bore immune system after being exposed to that assemblage.
My thought exactly. Another ‘RAT “In yo face, America!” moment.
Your idea is completely logical.
Too many parents have children and just stick them in daycare. This sounds like the best option for the entire family.
In the first three months,why would she want to expose her baby to such a germ laden environment?
I once worked at a place where this was allowed. People took total advantage and before you knew it, busy secretaries were turned into nannies and offices were turned into day care centers with screaming children running up and down the aisles. Didn’t last long when the President finally woke up and stopped it. Very liberal institution too.
Exactly!!
You are 100% right. Why can’t the baby be in the Senator’s office with a nanny? This is obviously using the baby as a prop.
I did not know that. Wow. Knew a friend of my parents who had a kid when the wife was 50, but still - that’s just too old.
Why can’t the baby stay at home with Dad while he takes some paternity leave? The best place for a newborn is NOT at work.
What kind of CF has our gov’t turned into???
They can’t do their job now.
How are they gonna do it with a screamin’ kid around.
Pro-Life props and all, but NOT the place to bring your kid!!
What a mess this country has become...sheeeshhhh
What's A Duck Worth?
Agreed. And things like Ivanka’s childcare tax credit just make it harder and harder to care for children traditionally.
