Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell claimed on Thursday that any legislation passed by the House of Representatives under its new temporary work-from-home system could be unconstitutional.
The House adopted a 45-day emergency rule earlier this month allowing members to designate a colleague to cast their votes on the floor during the pandemic.
In remarks from the Senate floor on Thursday, the majority leader expressed frustration with the safety measure.
Unfortunately, Mitchell was to young to read and understand the Constitution when it was drafted. But he does remember that it was flammable when he "accidentally" ran into the desk with the lit candle.
