Republicans force climate-related hearing to adjourn after only two House Democrats show up
Washington After opening statements in the House Natural Resources subcommittee hearing, GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert motioned to adjourn. Such motions are common in Congress, usually used by the minority to make the point that they object to the point of a hearing. And the majority party, having more members on all committees, always defeats the motion.But only two of the subcommittee's five Democrats were in the room. All four Republicans were there, so the Republicans won and the hearing ended.
"It appears today's hearing topic is well outside our jurisdiction."Gohmert said that climate change falls under the Energy and Commerce Committee or the Science, Space and Technology Committee, but the topics presented to be covered at Tuesday's hearing -- including"football, concussions, opioid addiction, OSHA and epidemiology" -- are outside of the issues the committee manages.
