Federal judge says House’s use of proxy voting to pass spending bill in 2022 unconstitutional. Back in 2020 we were told that this was illegal and unconstitutional. Pelosi didn’t care.
US District Judge James Wesley Hendrix ruled that the House violated the Constitution’s Quorum Clause when it did not have enough representatives physically present for a vote on the legislation and instead passed it by allowing lawmakers to vote by proxy, using a voting protocol that was put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The Court concludes that, by including members who were indisputably absent in the quorum count, the Act at issue passed in violation of the Constitution’s Quorum Clause,” wrote Hendrix.
