When the House votes Friday on a giant $1.7 trillion spending bill, most members of the House might not even be in the Capitol.<\/p>\n

Nearly 230 members of the U.S. House of Representatives<\/a> have filed letters allowing them to be away from the Capitol today and vote by proxy on a $1.7 trillion government funding<\/a> bill.<\/p>\n

According to the clerk of the House, 227 members \u2013 more than half of the House \u2013 have active proxy letters. Under rules allowed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calilf., lawmakers can cite the ongoing public health emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for their inability to vote in person.<\/p>\n

Overall, more than 130 Democrats and more than 90 Republicans have proxy letters on file ahead of Friday’s vote. The list includes incoming House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and current Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Pete Aguilar of California.<\/p>\n

HOUSE SET TO PASS $1.7T SPENDING BILL OVER GOP OBJECTIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the Republicans with active proxy letters are retiring from Congress this year, including Reps. Bob Gibbs of Ohio and Chris Jacobs of New York.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if every member with a proxy letter on file will use the opportunity to avoid voting in person when the House takes up the $1.7 trillion spending bill on Friday. In the past, some lawmakers have opted to vote in person despite being eligible to vote by proxy.<\/p>\n

If all 227 eligible lawmakers vote by proxy, however, that a majority of the 435-member House voted without being attendance. The vote is also likely to be the last that utilizes the proxy system.<\/p>\n

Republicans, who won control of the House during the midterms, have pledged to end the process. Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy<\/a>, who is vying to lead the new GOP majority as speaker next Congress, has argued that proxy voting is rife with abuse.<\/p>\n

“The Senate has managed to maintain in-person Floor voting for the entirety of the past two years \u2014 with a much older population and a 50-50 makeup, no less,” said McCarthy, R-Calif. “From the get-go, we warned that proxy voting would be misused as a means of convenience rather than as a precaution for health \u2014 and it has been, by members of both parties.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
