House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday unilaterally extended her unconstitutional proxy voting scheme.
Pelosi cited Covid and said that a "Public health emergency is in effect" in her announcement extending proxy voting.
Pelosi unilaterally extended her proxy voting scheme several times over the last couple years.
"Although the Constitution allows Congress to write its own rules, those rules cannot violate the Constitution itself, including the requirement to actually assemble in person. Since its adoption 14 months ago, proxy voting has shattered 231 years of legislative precedent and shielded the majority from substantive policy debates and questions, effectively silencing the voices of millions of Americans," McCarthy wrote to the Supreme Court justices.
The US Supreme Court in January declined to hear GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's challenge to Speaker Pelosi's proxy voting.
Recall, May 27, 2020 the House held its first 'proxy vote' since Congress first met in 1789.
71 Democrats voted 'by proxy' in its first vote since adoption of its party-line rule.
