GOP Leader Calls for Special “Call of the Roll” to Require Members to Publicly Announce Health Care Vote on the House Floor

Washington, Mar 19 –

Follow @GOPLeader on Twitter for updates.

            House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) requesting that the final health care votes be recorded by “call of the roll” so that every lawmaker is required to publicly announce their vote on the House floor. 

            “This weekend’s votes will be among the most consequential votes we will ever cast as Members of Congress,” Boehner says in the letter to Speaker Pelosi. “As such, it is my belief that every Member should stand before the American people and announce his or her vote as the final decision is made.”

            According to the rules of the House of Representatives, “Unless the Speaker directs otherwise, the Clerk shall conduct a record vote or quorum call by electronic device. … The Speaker may direct the Clerk to conduct a record vote or quorum call by call of the roll.  In such a case the Clerk shall call the names of Members, alphabetically by surname.”

            The full text of Leader Boehner’s letter to Speaker Pelosi follows. The signed copy is available here.

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
Office of the Speaker
H232 Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

It appears the House of Representatives will proceed with plans to vote this weekend on President Obama’s health care legislation, despite the well-documented objections of the American people to both the contents of the bill and the manner in which the Democratic leadership hopes to pass it.

This weekend’s votes will be among the most consequential votes we will ever cast as Members of Congress.  As such, it is my belief that every Member should stand before the American people and announce his or her vote as the final decision is made.

With this in mind, I request that you use your discretion under the Rules of the House of Representatives, Clause 2 and 3 of House Rule XX, to conduct the record vote by call of the roll for both adoption of the Senate health care bill (i.e. the Senate Amendment to H.R. 3590, as passed on Christmas Eve this past year) and for the rule making that bill in order.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

John Boehner

Get ‘monuments to me’ ban written in stone

Get ‘monuments to me’ ban written in stone.

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul of Austin wants to put a stop to members of Congress naming all sorts of things after themselves. ‘This perception feeds the belief that members of Congress are arrogant and out of touch with the American people we represent,’ he said.

Monday, June 22, 2009

 

Let us sing the praises of — but not build a monument to — U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin.

McCaul has taken as his cause something you’d like as your cause. He has vowed to try to add to every appropriations measure an amendment to bar lawmakers from pushing federal budget earmarks for projects named for themselves.

“Whether these are wise uses of taxpayer dollars is not the question,” says McCaul. “The problem is one of perception that these projects receive special treatment. This perception feeds the belief that members of Congress are arrogant and out of touch with the American people we represent.”

Members of Congress? Arrogant? Out of touch? Just because they use your money to name stuff for themselves? Such cynicism.

McCaul’s idea is gaining some across-the-aisle traction in Washington. Roll Call recently reported that House Appropriations Chairman David Obey, D-Wisc., told Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., he is leaning toward banning what’s become known as “monuments to me” in this year’s spending bills.

This did not make Waters happy, she of the earmark request for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center in her district.

There’s a long, if not proud, tradition of members of Congress naming things for themselves. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va, is your all-time champion of this. It’s hard to drive more than a few miles in West Virginia without seeing his name. More than 30 public works honor his service, including the Robert C. Byrd Hardwood Technologies Center, the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing and a Robert C. Byrd high school, federal prison, freeway, highway, expressway, bridge, community center, courthouse, institute, industrial park and addition to the lodge at Wheeling’s Oglebay Park.

Hell, let’s scrap West Virginia and rename it Byrdland.

Texas is not short on public projects named for state officials. But in most cases, it has been an honor approved after the person left office (and, in some cases, after leaving this life). That’s better than the congressional practice of naming things for yourself while you’re still appearing on ballots.

For a while, bored Texas statehouse reporters talked about establishing a betting pool on who would be the first Texas official to serve time in a prison bearing his or her name.

Feel free to place your own bets on this. Here’s the list of former (and still living) state officials who have prison units named for them: Ex-Govs. Dolph Briscoe and Bill Clements, ex-Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, former state Sen. John Montford, ex-Speaker Gib Lewis, and former Reps. Barry Telford, Jim Rudd, Mark Stiles and Ernestine Glossbrenner.
