NEW: Pelosi Unilaterally Extends Unconstitutional Proxy Voting Scheme to October
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) once again unilaterally extended her unconstitutional proxy voting scheme to at least October 1.
Proxy voting was set to expire on August 17 after Pelosi’s last extension.
“In light of the attached notification by the Sergeant-at-Arms, in consultation with the Office of Attending Physician, that a public health emergency is in effect due to a novel coronavirus, I am hereby extending the “covered period” designated on January 4, 2021, pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, until October 1, 2021.” Pelosi said in a press release.
This is pure lawlessness and unprecedented corruption.
Recall, May 27, 2020 the House held its first ‘proxy vote’ since Congress first met in 1789 and GOP leader Kevin McCarthy sued to stop the constitutional abomination.
