A member of the House of Representatives confirmed on Friday morning that he would try to force an expanded vote on the CCP virus relief package passed by the Senate earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a few moments I will request a vote on the CARES Act which means members of Congress will vote on it by pushing yes or no or present,'\u201d Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Noting that some Americans in crucial industries such as grocery clerks, delivery drivers, and healthcare professionals are still going to work during the COVID-19 pandemic, Massie added: \u201cIs it too much to ask that the House do its job, just like the Senate did?\u201d<\/p>\n

Massies move would force the House to wait until a quorum, or majority, of lawmakers are present. In the House currently, thats 216 members.<\/p>\n

A voice vote was planned, which would have allowed the House to pass the bill even without a majority of members being present. A similar situation unfolded in 1918 during the Spanish flu. A call for a quorum caused a delay but was eventually withdrawn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Massie signaled late Thursday he planned to block the voice vote, some lawmakers began flying to Washington.<\/p>\n

His move prompted widespread criticism, including from GOP President Donald Trump and some Republican lawmakers.<\/p>\n

Trump called Massie a \u201cthird rate Grandstander\u201d who \u201d just wants the publicity,\u201d calling on Congress to quickly pass the package, which designates $2.2 trillion for most Americans, as well as some small businesses and corporations.<\/p>\n

Some defended Massie, including Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). He told Trump that Massie \u201cis one of the most principled men in Congress\u201d and said the lawmakers move amounted to \u201cdefending the Constitution today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Members were told in an updated schedule that debate on the package would start at 9 a.m. and there was a possibility a recorded vote was needed.<\/p>\n
