Proponents of the change have called it a common-sense fix to modernize Congress, where there are more women and more younger members than there were 200 years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Democrats including Representatives Brittany Pettersen of Colorado, who gave birth to her second child earlier this year, and Sara Jacobs of California joined Ms. Luna\u2019s effort, expanding the resolution to include new fathers and up to 12 weeks of proxy voting during a parental leave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Johnson has adamantly opposed them at every turn, arguing that proxy voting is unconstitutional, even though the Supreme Court refused to take up a Republican-led lawsuit challenging pandemic-era proxy voting rules in the House. Mr. Johnson and his allies have argued that any accommodation that allow members to vote without being physically at the Capitol, no matter how narrow, creates a slippery slope for more, and that it harms member collegiality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI do believe its an existential issue for this body,\u201d Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina and chairwoman of the Rules Committee, said on Tuesday. \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/15\/us\/politics\/remote-voting-house-coronavirus.html\" title=\"\">Congress is defined as the \u2018act of coming together and meeting.<\/a>\u2019\u201d Changing that, she said, \u201cundermines the fabric of that sacred act of convening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Mr. Johnson refused to bring the bill to the floor, Ms. Luna and her cohorts successfully used a tool called the discharge petition \u2014 a demand signed by 218 members of the House, the majority of the body \u2014 to force consideration of the measure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But on Tuesday morning, Republicans on the House Rules Committee, often referred to as the \u201cspeaker\u2019s committee\u201d because the speaker uses it to maintain control of the floor, tried a tricky behind-the-scenes maneuver to kill the broadly popular effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They approved a measure that would block the proxy voting bill or any legislation on a similar topic from reaching the floor during the remainder of the Congress, effectively nullifying the discharge petition and closing off any chance for its supporters to secure a vote on the matter for the next two years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">G.O.P. lawmakers inserted it into an unrelated resolution to allow for a vote on the SAVE Act, legislation requiring people to prove their U.S. citizenship when they register to vote, in a bid to pressure Republicans to support it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Democrats called the move an unprecedented attempt to shut down a crucial mechanism in the House for ensuring that measures that have majority support are voted upon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou guys are falling all over yourselves to block mothers with newborn babies from voting remotely,\u201d said Representative Jim McGovern, Democrat of Massachusetts. \u201cThis is not only unprecedented, this is shameful.\u201d (The resolution would allow both new mothers and fathers to vote remotely.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. McGovern admonished Republicans who support the measure: \u201cDon\u2019t help this committee kill something you support. This should not be a place where democracy goes to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not clear Mr. Johnson could peel off enough Republicans to block the proxy voting bill, given that it has the backing of a majority of the House. A floor vote was scheduled for 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
