BREAKING: FreedomCaucus tanks House gas stove vote in 'retaliation' against SpeakerMcCarthy.
The vote was in retaliation for passage of Speaker Kevin McCarthy's deal with President Joe Biden to raise the debt ceiling, which the Freedom Caucus strongly opposed as too weak on cutting federal spending.
Twelve Republicans voted against moving forward with debate of on four pieces legislation, joining 208 Democrats, to block the measures.Rep. Chip Roy , who was outspoken against the debt deal, said Tuesday the direction Congress took in raising the debt ceiling"was a failure.” “We warned them not to cut that deal without coming down and sit down and talk to us. So this is all about restoring a process that will fundamentally change things back to what was working," Roy said.
Two of the GOP-led bills would restrict the federal government's ability to regulate or ban gas stoves.A third would seek to limit agency discretion by authorize federal courts that review agency actions to decide all relevant questions of law associated with a given action without deferring to previous legal determinations by the agency. The other bill would subject major agency actions to congressional approval.
