Voice votes, voting by proxy, and voting 'present' would be banned under a sweeping call for transparency in House votes pushed by Georgia RepMTG. 'Everything should be transparent,' she said.
Greene, who is only allowed to vote on the House floor because Democrats banned her from sitting on committees, today offered legislation aimed at better informing the nation how members vote while also forcing members to take a public position on everything that comes before the chamber.In an interview, the first-term Republican said she has been dismayed at how often business on the House floor has been approved by voice vote.
And Greene didn’t like how it operated. She has often demanded recorded votes when Democratic leaders hoped instead for quick voice votes. She did that three times on Monday. Greene said, “For too long, the Uniparty in Congress has escaped accountability for actions that destroy the American way of life by passing legislation in an empty chamber with no members on record.”Her legislation, the Congressional Voting Accountability Act, which is likely to be blocked by the Democratic majority, would end voice and proxy voting and require a “yes” or “no.” Voting"present" would no longer be a choice.
Greene said that she hopes all members return to Washington now that the coronavirus is ending but added that her plan would force them back, especially the handful who have been out of town for nearly the whole crisis.
