WASHINGTON - Divisive new Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces the first test of his ability to lead the chaotic US House of Representatives on Monday as Republicans seek to approve a rules package determining how they will govern.
A publicly available 55-page rules package lays out Republican priorities for the remainder of Democratic President Joe Biden’s term and the operating procedures the party will adopt. And it requires the House to hold votes on a variety of right wing priorities, such as withdrawing US$72 billion in agreed funding for income tax enforcement, and a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions.
“We don’t know what got or didn’t get. We haven’t seen it,” one of the two Republican dissenters, South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace, told CBS on Sunday. “We don’t have any idea what promises were made or what gentleman’s handshakes were made.” This would mean slashed funding for federal agencies – and a likely 10 per cent decrease in defence spending.“This has a proposed billions of cut to defence, which I think is a horrible idea,” Texas Republican Tony Gonzales told CBS on Sunday.
