House Republicans are urging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to end proxy voting, which is in effect due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Pelosi announced on Monday evening that she is “hereby extending the ‘covered period’ designated on January 4, 2021 … until July 3, 2021.” This comes after the acting sergeant-at-arms wrote that “the public health emergency” due to COVID-19 “remains in effect.”
In response, several Republican lawmakers penned a letter to the House speaker, writing, “It is time we follow the science, lead by example, and fully return to work to serve the American people.”
After noting that at least 75% of Congressmembers are fully vaccinated, the lawmakers added, “Ineffective remote procedures have hindered Congressional operations for too long and should not continue for the duration of the 117th Congress.”
