The new rules of the House changed the number required to make a motion to vacate the chair. Under the last Congress that number was 1 and is now 9.
Also, the number of Republicans who voted against Johnson, or skipped the first time is 9.
@TrueFactsStated I mean, there are several people with the Clerk's office keeping the tally... and it's why the reading clerk repeats the vote back for every member.
Remember, this is how they used to do EVERY VOTE before they developed the electronic voting system.
@SuzetteCumberl1@joncoopertweets Hahahahah. You're 100% corrrect about the uncertainty... but there is nothing illegal about withholding a bonus for any reason.
@cabot_phillips Blame the state legislatures in the other states. For example, Republicans in Pennsylvania did not want to change the law to allow counties to start counting mail in ballots before the polls closed.
So Trump says law enforcement is investigating massive cheating in PA and no law enforcement agency in PA has any idea what the hell he is talking about.
@DrCraigEverett@US_Stormwatch Yeah, when they are talking about record breaking storms they tend to be across the region/basin rather than the specific region or body of water. Unless they clarify it ("Strongest to make landfall" vs "Strongest to hit Texas")
@DrCraigEverett@US_Stormwatch Tropical systems are divided into zones. Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, Central Pacific, etc Western Pacific.
The "Atlantic" zone also includes the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
@MLCHIL2 Well, what he actually said was the Disaster Relief Fund did not have enough resources for the rest of hurricane season (which ends November 30th).
That is because Congress has refused to provide more funding.
The refugee assistance program is a different fund.
Itโs 12:01 am. A spokesperson for NCSBE tells me NCSBE is unaware of any requests by any statewide candidates to withdraw from their races.
Mark Robinson vs Josh Stein remains on
