Thread: Senate to Change Rules for Duckworth

    Post Senate to Change Rules for Duckworth

    Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who this month became the first sitting senator to give a birth while in office, has submitted a resolution that would allow senators to bring a child under 1 year old onto the Senate floor during votes. Senate leaders appear poised to approve the request, according to Senate sources.

    The Illinois Democrat has been on a campaign to change the chamber’s rules, which prohibit children from the floor, arguing that the archaic ban doesn’t support working parents and would make it difficult for her to vote.

    The Senate sometimes stacks several votes in a row or gets sidelined by delays, requiring lawmakers to be on the floor for an extended period of time.

    “I can’t be away from a newborn infant in the first three months for that long,” Duckworth told POLITICO before her baby was born.

    Trump should oppose this, since she rudely called him "cadet bone spurs."
    There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
