Analysis: Rep. Chip Roy proves the minority party can still upend the House of Representatives
By JM Rieger JM Rieger Video editor for The Fix Email Bio Follow May 24 at 2:45 PM Rep. Chip Roy on Friday demonstrated the power that minority party members still have in the House of Representatives.
Roy said opposes the bill because it would add to the national debt and does not include $4.4 billion in additional spending for federal operations along the U.S.-Mexico border that Trump previously had requested. The White House dropped that request to allow the bill to move forward. Objecting to unanimous consent requests for legislation with broad bipartisan support after most members have left town is nothing new, but it often occurs in the Senate where the process is often more drawn out.
