House Speaker Hilarity

[GMDino]

I suppose this thread is as good a place as any to follow the clown show that will be the House for the next two years.

Despite running on a "platform" of going after inflation, helping the American people, etc. so far the House has cut funding to the IRS (a move that will increase the debt), passed another abortion bill and now...this:

Quote:Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on Thursday that he would consider expunging one or both of former President Trump’s impeachments.



“I would understand why members would want to bring that forward,” McCarthy said in response to a question at a press conference on Thursday, before listing off several other key priorities for House Republicans. 


“But I understand why individuals want to do it, and we’d look at it,” he added.

In the last Congress, a group of more than 30 House Republicans led by Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) put forward a resolution to expunge Trump’s impeachment in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The resolution was supported by the fourth-ranking Republican in the House, Republican Conference Chairman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.).


A smaller group, again led by Mullin, also introduced a resolution to expunge Trump’s December 2019 impeachment for allegedly attempting to withhold military aid from Ukraine in an effort to pressure the country to investigate the business dealings of President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.



The Senate ultimately acquitted Trump in both impeachments, after failing to reach the two-thirds majority required to convict him.

And they still haven't read the Constitution from beginning to end like McCarthy said they would on day one.
