House Rules Chairman Jim McGovern submits a report proposing proxy voting as lawmakers fear gathering for legislative business.
McGovern believes proxy voting precedent in committees clears the way to allow it on the House floor and eliminates the vulnerability created by remote voting.
This also still gives members the option of showing up in person to vote if they want to, but allows members to be counted without actually being there.How would it work? One important note -- this has never been done on the House floor before and proxy voting in the House committees has not been done for several session of Congress either.
