RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE
Mr. McCARTHY. Madam Speaker, I rise to a question of the privileges
of the House, and I send to the desk a privileged resolution.
[[Page H3886]]
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the resolution.
The Clerk read as follows:
H. Res. 554
Whereas, on June 30, 2021, the House voted to establish a
``Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on
the United States Capitol.'';
Whereas, H. Res. 503 states that ``The Speaker shall
appoint 13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall
be appointed after consultation with the Minority Leader.'';
Whereas, on June 30, 2021, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that
``We believe that Congress must in the spirit of
bipartisanship and patriotism establish this commission.'';
Whereas, when asked during a press conference on July 22
about the partisanship of the committee, Speaker Pelosi
stated that ``the less partisan it is, the more it will be
accepted by the American people.'';
Whereas, in a statement put out by the Speaker's Office,
Speaker Pelosi stated that ``our imperative must be to find
the truth. We must do so in a way that retains the trust of
the American people in the proceedings, so that they will
have confidence in the truth that emerges.'';
Whereas, for the first known time in the history of the
House, the Speaker of the House rejected two of the Minority
Leader's nominees to a Select Committee.;
Whereas, Speaker Pelosi's own press release acknowledged
that this was an ``unprecedented decision.''; and
Whereas, Speaker Pelosi's refusal to seat all five
Republican Members directly harms the legitimacy,
credibility, and integrity of the proceedings of the Select
Committee: : Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) condemns the refusal of Speaker Nancy Pelosi to seat
all five Republican Members to the Select Committee; and
(2) urges the Speaker to make the following appointments to
the Select Committee: Representative Jim Banks of Indiana,
Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, Representative Rodney
Davis of Illinois, Representative Kelly Armstrong of North
Dakota, and Representative Troy Nehls of Texas.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.
Motion to Table
Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I have a motion at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Hoyer moves that the resolution be laid on the table.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. McCARTHY. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
