GOP Rep To Step Down From Top Committee After Fighting On House Floor: REPORT

Republican Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers is reportedly stepping down from the House Steering Committee, days after he charged Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz during a late-night speaker vote.

Rogers, an eleven-term congressman and the newly-elected chair of the House Armed Services Committee, angrily confronted Gaetz between the fourteenth and fifteenth Speaker votes. Gaetz had voted “present” on the fourteenth ballot, forcing the lower chamber into another roll call vote. Between the votes, Rogers charged Gaetz and had to be held back by GOP North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson.

Now, Rogers is stepping down from the Steering Committee, according to Politico. Members of the committee, which doles out assignments to elected officials, are elected by region or selected by party leadership. Rogers will reportedly give up his seat temporarily to Tennessee Rep. Mark Green after the committee votes on seating for the House Homeland Security Committee.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It should be noted that Gaetz' vote remain unchanged from Round 14 to Round 15.  So Gaetz wasn't the one "forcing the lower chamber into another roll call vote.".

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
