CJS Debate Set New Record for Votes
According to Congress Daily (subscription required), the House debate on the Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill yesterday set a new record for votes in a single day.
“The House Thursday conducted a raucous, marathon series of 53 roll-call votes” in an “eight-hour vote-a-rama.” The earlier record was 40 votes in a single day on Oct. 4, 1988. Republicans reportedly were displeased at limitations on the number of amendments that could be offered so forced the series of roll-call votes. Hearings and markups were delayed or cancelled as Members were required to be on the floor.
