众议院议长约翰逊因政府停摆推迟新当选众议员格里哈尔瓦宣誓就职

摘要

众议院议长迈克·约翰逊推迟了新当选众议员阿德莉塔·格里哈尔瓦的宣誓就职,称推迟与持续的政府停摆有关,并敦促民主党领导人解决僵局。

众议院议长迈克·约翰逊推迟了新当选众议员阿德莉塔·格里哈尔瓦的宣誓就职,称推迟与持续的政府停摆有关。一位领导层助理表示:“只要众议院恢复开会,查克·舒默、马克·凯利和鲁本·加列戈决定重新开放政府,我们就会为新当选众议员格里哈尔瓦举行宣誓仪式。”这一决定与约翰逊此前表示格里哈尔瓦“只要愿意就会宣誓”的说法形成对比。政府停摆期间,众议院一直举行简短的“形式性”会议,这些会议通常是程序性的,不涉及立法事务。今年早些时候,约翰逊曾在此类会议期间为共和党众议员吉米·帕特罗尼斯和兰迪·法恩宣誓就职。当被问及推迟原因时,约翰逊强调宣誓仪式的仪式性质,并表示将在众议院全面恢复会议时进行。两周前赢得特别选举的格里哈尔瓦一直敦促约翰逊确定她的宣誓日期,认为推迟“剥夺了南亚利桑那人民获得基本选民服务的权利。”她表示:“约翰逊议长需要停止拖延,遵循他今年早些时候为共和党同僚宣誓时所设的先例。如果他能给我一个具体的日期和时间,我会准时到场。”推迟还影响了一项要求众议院全体投票释放更多杰弗里·爱泼斯坦案件材料的请愿,因为需要格里哈尔瓦的签名。约翰逊否认宣誓推迟与该请愿有任何关联。众议院规则委员会民主党首席成员吉姆·麦戈文批评这一推迟,称其“令人愤慨”,并暗示这是“爱泼斯坦掩盖行动”的一部分。此事凸显了政府停摆期间更广泛的政治紧张局势,双方均利用程序性行动推进各自议程。
