Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's repeated efforts to delay work in the House of Representatives has drawn bipartisan ire and may result in a new rule change.

After Greene, a Georgia Republican, tried Wednesday to stall the lower chamber's final vote on President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package by forcing a motion to adjourn, Representative David Cicilline (D-R.I.) said he will propose a rule change to ensure it doesn't happen again.

"I'm dead serious," he told reporters.

1. Right, cuz,

America sure doesn't need this legislation


She needs to go back to middle school and take the rest of her merry band of traitors with her!

[turbinetree]

6. She should be censured (done) expelled (still on the table) or even locked up (future consideration)

2. What could he propose?

[gratuitous]

5. Limit on the number of motions to adjourn one member can bring?

See if Marjorie can get anyone else on board her Lunatic Express.

9. That you can't call for adjournment if you aren't on a committee. nt

[gratuitous]

11. That works, too

Obviously Rep. Greene doesn't have any committee work taking up her time, so she can waste everyone else's time with a daily motion to adjourn.

[leftieNanner]

10. You have to be on a committee in order to call for adjournment

Pretty carefully crafted and specific rule.

[DURHAM D]

3. Hope he is successful in shutting her down.

Did you see this?

[COL Mustard]

14. There Must Be A Portmanteau Of Those Two

Ignarogance?
Arrognance?

[demtenjeep]

15. I am surprised she hasn't made fun of who he loves

[COL Mustard]

13. Good! I Think The House Needs A Good Dose Of Goo Gone
