Johnson议长推迟在民主党的Adelita Grijalva宣誓就职,直到正式开庭,引发政治辩论。
Speaker Johnson delays swearing in Democrat Adelita Grijalva until full session, sparking political debate.
发言人麦克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)将新当选的民主国会议员Adelita Grijalva的宣誓宣誓日期推迟至众议院恢复正式开庭为止,
Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing-in of newly elected Democratic congresswoman Adelita Grijalva until the House returns to full session, despite earlier promises to seat her promptly.
这一拖延与众议院恢复立法工作有关,引起了一些问题,因为Johnson以前在短短的的形式会议期间在共和党同事中宣誓就职。
The delay, tied to the chamber’s return to legislative business, has raised questions, given Johnson previously swore in Republican colleagues during brief pro forma sessions.
Grijalva于9月赢得了一次特别选举,他试图就释放与Jeffrey Epstein案有关的材料一事提出众议院全体投票请愿。
Grijalva, who won a special election in September, seeks to advance a petition for a full House vote on releasing materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
包括Republic. Jim McGovern在内的民主党人指控Johnson在政治上使用程序权力,而Johnson则否认与Epstein问题有任何联系,称宣誓就职是一项 " 礼仪义务 " ,取决于众议院是否开会。
Democrats, including Rep. Jim McGovern, accuse Johnson of using procedural power politically, while Johnson denies any connection to the Epstein issue, calling the swearing-in a “ceremonial duty” dependent on the House being in session.
