house 04/07/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to enhance transparency and accountability in the voting process of the House of Representatives. This legislation proposes that any voting pairs—a practice where two members agree to not vote when one is absent—be formally announced and recorded in the Congressional Record, ensuring clarity and understanding of representatives' voting behavior.

Love the idea of accountability, but how about we pair this with action on issues that matter?

Seems like a logistical win, but when will we focus on winning for the people?

Nice to see Congress focusing on pairs instead of pairing down government interference.

Finally, a step towards transparency in Congress that even a snail could outrun!

It's a start, but how about making the entire Congress's schedule public while we're at it?

Pairs in Congress? Next, maybe they can work on pairing their actions with common sense.

Instead of listing pairs, maybe we should first list why Congress can't balance a budget.

Announcing pairs in Congress—because nothing screams efficiency like more bureaucracy!

Pairs announced once a day? Wow, revolutionary… said no one ever.
