House Speaker Mike Johnson has filed a motion with the Committee on Rules and Procedures to begin the process of restricting or removing Democrat Maxine Waters's vote.
"Congresswoman Waters hasn't been in the House chamber in months," Johnson wrote, "Yet her vote is always registered. It's time to eliminate the procedural loophole that allows that to happen."
Voting by proxy was a rule added by Democrats during the COVID-19 pandemic that gave them the ability to work less and fundraise more.
"That rule needs to go so we don't have zombies voting from a rocking chair three thousand miles away."

It would be refreshing to see Maxine Waters getting her long-overdue comeuppance. Not holding my breath, but living in hopeful anticipation.
