Yea 'cos Johnson is going to make a fuss? While his lackeys hold the votes, even if only in theory, neither Congress or Senate will want to test GOP loyalty. After the post proxy vote tantrum, Johnson probably doesn't want to risk any more votes in the House.

Clinton, Obama & Biden must have ignored the Constitution

Trump is powerless without his GOP eunuchs in the House. I would like to see Americans attack their GOP reps be name, out loud, on TV, everyday, for voting against their interests.

The MAGA Republicans are blind to what Trump does! Fear of losing a primary election keeps them under his control!

Unfortunately, Trump Republicans in Congress aren't going to use their constitutional power to check the executive! They have created parlementary rules to prevent the constitutional authority they have.
