Pelosi’s spitting fire at defiant House Republicans over halt to her ‘lawless’ proxy voting scheme
May 27, 2020 | Frieda Powers

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called out Republicans for their “dangerous obstruction” of an attempt to allow lawmakers to vote remotely for their colleagues.

The California Democrat slammed a lawsuit by GOP House members on Tuesday that sought to block the proxy voting, calling it a “sad stunt” and claiming the ability of one U.S. Representative to vote remotely on the House floor for colleagues is allowed by the Constitution.

“House Republicans’ sad stunt shows that their only focus is to delay and obstruct urgently-needed action to meet the needs of American workers and families during the coronavirus crisis,” Pelosi said in a statement released Tuesday.

“The House made its will clear two weeks ago when it voted to implement remote voting by proxy and other necessary measures to ensure that Congress can continue to protect lives and livelihoods,” she added, linking the need to vote with passing additional relief legislation amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“The House’s position that remote voting by proxy during a pandemic is fully consistent with the Constitution is supported by expert legal analyses,” Pelosi said. “Further, the Supreme Court made clear over a century ago that the Constitution empowers each chamber of Congress to set its own procedural rules.”
