This was a vote on a resolution providing for an adjournment of the two Houses of Congress for the traditional July 4 Recess. The House requires a formal resolution for it to adjourn for a recess. Approval of resolutions allowing for recesses is routinely given. The leadership of the Democratic majority proposed this resolution. The House Republican Conference, which is the policy-making body of the Republican House Members, had been taking what it described as a symbolic position to protest the manner in which the Democrats were conducting business in the House, and had opposed resolution recesses. Forcing a vote on this otherwise routine resolution was part of that protest. |
