Truckers delay House session, even if they didn’t know it
Fox News
The freedom convoy, currently caravanning around Washington, D.C., finally delayed Congress from gathering "pro forma."
Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., resides in northern Virginia. It’s customary that congressional leaders tap a local member from suburban Virginia or Maryland to preside over brief, "pro forma" sessions during which the House gavels in for a few moments and then gavels out — just to meet the constitutional requirement of meeting every three days. Monday's House session was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET and would only take a few moments.
But rolling street closures were implemented by the Washington, D.C., police to thwart the truckers delayed Beyer from reaching the Capitol for the session.
