  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, reserving the right to object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, a number of my colleagues have asked why I

[[Page H1420]]

have made at least two objections tonight with respect to motions to 
lay on the table and to have reconsideration. And I just want to remind 
the Chamber that we are here to do the job of the American people. We 
are here to vote.
  Madam Speaker, earlier tonight, we had a voice vote of somewhere 
around $16 billion of continuing resolution spending to push forward 
government spending to the night of March 15. And it is my considered 
judgment, and the judgment of many of my colleagues, that we should 
have the right to debate that and vote on it. And we had nobody in the 
Chamber here when we thought, and we were under the good faith belief, 
that we would actually have a vote on that tonight.
  So the purpose of forcing some votes tonight was to call that 
question and to remind the Chamber that it is our job to vote. It is 
our job to be here and do the work of the American people.
  Madam Speaker, we have not had an amendment on the floor of the House 
in open debate since May of 2016, to the best of my understanding. We 
need to restore this Chamber. We need to debate. We need to vote.
  Madam Speaker, with that, I will withdraw my reservation of the right 
to object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The reservation is withdrawn.
