A routine procedural vote in the US House of Representatives turned into an unexpected political showdown as nine Republicans rebelled against their own party, effectively bringing legislative proceedings to a halt for the rest of the week.The move jeopardized two key bills backed by President Donald Trump’s administration that were scheduled for votes on Wednesday and Thursday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, expressed frustration over the setback, told Fox News, "It's a very disappointing result on the floor there, a handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule. That's rarely done. It's very unfortunate." He confirmed that the disruption meant no further action could be taken on the House floor for the remainder of the week.
The blocked procedural rule would have allowed debate on two bills: one limiting district judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions and another requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. The failure of the rule vote marked a significant blow to Republican leadership, which had strongly advocated for the measures.
