The House speaker faces an uphill battle to unite his party on separate measures to provide military aid to Israel and Ukraine – without losing his job.

Let’s not add fuel to the fire of ideological conflict. Please ask 118 Congress to vote down military aid. Instead please support constructive diplomatic solutions. When we vilify China, Russia and Islam we deepen conflict rather that resolve conflict. submitted by /u/enniferj [link] [comments]

Will someone please explain why some perceive Speaker Mike Johnson as a so-called bigot, homophobe, and "threat to democracy?" Despite his views on LGBTQ+ issues, religion, and science, I believe he demonstrates good moral character. However, most online articles and publications criticize him for his stances on the aforementioned topics. Perhaps I lack awareness of his legislative history, but I tend to judge a leader based on their behavior and ethical standards rather than their personal beliefs. Although, I don't agree with him on everything, I think he is an authentic person so I would appreciate another perspective on this matter. Thanks submitted by /u/KneeSea1396 [link] [comments]

While GOP leaders in the House meet to chart a path forward, 17 new bills were added to the agenda designed to punish Iran and its proxies.

The win for the House speaker comes after a series of embarrassing losses that prevented lawmakers from even considering crucial national security legislation.

Although the title probably explains the whole question, my question is primarily concerning what forces congress to follow their own rules internally. I understand that if they break their own rules and try to pass the bill up, then the next branch could probably refuse it if they wanted, but I don't know what is technically stopping them from keeping a bill at their own level indefinitely. Is the assumption that some sort of protest would disturb the legislature and halt any progress anywhere else? If then, couldn't the speaker of the house or the president of the senate call for those disturbing the court to be removed? Is the assumption just that too much chaos would arise for it to be worth it? Their positions being at stake in the next election? What stops them from just ignoring things? Whose enforcing stuff? submitted by /u/Additional-Art [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! Like a lot of subs that have politics content, r/Congress is getting a lot of spam — esp about the Gaza and the election, topics that can be entirely germane to r/Congress. However, content posted must be PRIMARILY about the U.S. Congress. Banks shots about issues Congress is taking up but that aren't primarily about Congress will be removed. Thanks, fam! Have a great weekend. submitted by /u/mnrqz [link] [comments]
