McCarthy: The Constitution Is Very Clear on This, the Founders Believed We Should Assemble

EXCERPT:

MCCARTHY: “When you look at the HEROES act, I think it was only 12 Democrats who did not show and now 71. Inside what Pelosi wanted to put forward on a proxy, she said, only if you physically cannot come to the capitol to do your work. The Democrats continue to fail in their leadership. The Constitution is very clear about this. The Founders believed we should assemble. If the Democrats are successful in allowing a proxy vote to make their own rules, what stops them from making a rule that only certain people can vote or certain members cannot have a full vote, a half vote? Nothing. Yes, the House can make the rules but they cannot make something different than the Constitution says. It is very clear in the Constitution, from Article I all through the House is supposed to assemble. This is unconstitutional what the Democrats are doing.”
