Need more context. What's Massey grandstanding about?


Lots of Congress are out of DC and in isolation.

The House can pass bills with a voice vote, used frequently to speed things up on procedural matters that are obvious.

However any single member can call for a roll call vote, where each member has to vote and the votes be counted.

When you do that, quorum rules kick in. A quorum is the minimum number of members that must be present to make a vote legitimate. For the House I believe I read it was 218.

He's planning on calling for a roll call vote, which is forcing a bunch of house members to return to DC to be present to actually vote in person.

Do these bums actually TRY to find ways to waste taxpayer money?

They should be given a Pin number to call in this stuff from home.

Does anybody really think these people in CONgress read the bill and know exactly what is going on? Looks like another Obamacare but worse. Just shove a bunch of bullshite together overnight and tell the public, we saved the world with 2.2 trillion dollars.
If you even get the "check", it is apparently an advancement against 2020 tax refunds. So if you make more than $150,000 in 2020 as married filing joint, you will have a tax liability to pay some or all of it back when you file in a year.
