OUTRAGEOUS: Speaker Johnson Cancels Votes for Rest of Week, Derailing Two Critical Bills, Despite Having Power to Proceed | The ...
House Speaker Mike Johnson's abrupt cancellation of votes this week has sparked outrage, halting crucial conservative legislation and raising questions about leadership accountability in Congress during a pivotal moment for the GOP.
I am going to watch for God's work in this situation.
Somebody owns Johnson. He's GOT to go.
Remain calm frens. We just picked up 2 more votes.
Let's see what happens. We have PDJT speaking from the Rose Garden today about the liberation day. We also have no votes for the rest of the week. Are these things related?? I have no idea, just throwing that out there that some of what is happening may be related to other happenings. We won't know until it plays out.
The TW X crowd is giving him a fit! He deserves it. Why can’t he grow a pair like Pelosi? Why do our guys have no courage?
I'm confused ,who even brought up the rule vote ,parents on both sides?
Luna needs to be held accountable for this.
It's because there's not enough votes to pass. Stop this internal fighting.
Did you miss the "Despite Having Power to Proceed" part?
Having the power to do so and having enough votes for not mean the same thing.
Explain that logic to me.
Having the power = Being able to push for the vote.
Having the votes = Having the right number of people to vote to pass the bill.
You have the power to kill someone.
But you don't have the urge to.
Sorry, fren, but that makes no sense to me. Anyone can push for a vote at any time whether they have the votes to pass a bill or not. The power comes when you have the necessary votes to pass the bill. So, "Despite Having Power to Proceed" means despite having the votes needed to pass the bill. As Revodude said above, "We just picked up 2 more votes.' And let's be honest, this isn't the first time Johnson has pulled a shenanigan like this.
I want to believe Johnson is 100% on the side of MAGA, but his actions just don't fully support it.
Reading comprehension is a real problem on this board.
I can see that. But don't give up. The more you read, the better reader you'll become.
Why aren't there enough votes? I thought Republicans controlled the house. 🤡
And just so you know, I did not downvote you.
