The 100 votes to get elected thing seems to have a silver lining.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Thursday ended proxy voting in the House of Representatives, requiring lawmakers to be present in-person to cast votes.
“No more proxy voting,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced Thursday. “Effective immediately, Members of Congress have to show up to work if they want their vote to count.”
