Change: House Democrat files resolution to allow members of Congress to vote from home...

Congress normally only works 4 days a week and takes a large number of breaks. This is just laziness...

Via The Hill:

A freshman House Democrat filed a resolution Friday that would allow members of Congress to vote remotely on bills from their home districts.
Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) resolution would amend House rules so lawmakers can take care of business using the latest communications technologies, including video conferencing.
Swalwell, whose district is located just North of the heart of Silicon Valley, hopes the amendment will update how Congress works and allow lawmakers to spend more time at home with their constituents.
The resolution would create a secure remote voting system so members could vote on bills that are under suspension, meaning they require two-thirds support in the House to pass. The process is usually reserved for bills that are deemed non-controversial or will receive a majority of support in the House.
