Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) attacked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on the floor of the House on Thursday, saying that his caucus is a “circus” and can’t gather enough votes to pass any significant legislation.
“This speaker doesn’t even have the votes for impeachment, doesn’t even have the votes to fund the government,” Frost said. “It’s unclear if he even has the votes to keep his own job.”
That is correct! And I sincerely thank you for the clarification. These days, so many things hinge on rules and laws and traditions and procedures that are far more obscure than this one, and getting the details correct definitely matters.
