    It’s an idea that McCarthy himself has been floating, and it was the subject of debate during Republicans’ 3½-hour private meeting Thursday. During the discussion, some Republicans asked whether they could give McHenry more power “by acclamation” or whether they needed to take an internal vote in the room.

    It’s a different idea from the formal resolution proposed by Rep. Dave Joyce, R-Ohio, which would require a floor vote to empower McHenry to move legislation like spending bills and aid packages for Ukraine and Israel.

    It’s cute that they’re at least trying to figure out democracy amongst themselves, I guess.

        Which hilariously they can’t even manage.

        There will always be a “Democrat” to deal with. They’ll always find a group they won’t work with.

        Democracy and riches only for them. Those “others” should get the hurt they deserve.
