Congressman McGovern says Congress is not student government, midsession Speaker election a national embarrassment
House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern of Massachusetts says in debate on a procedural resolution providing for subsequent action on an aid package for Israel and regular appropriations that voters didn't send lawmakers to Congress to play student government or sit around and yell at each other over who gets to be Speaker, but to govern and compromise, so the House sitting empty for weeks on end while Republican fought over which member of their conference would compromise with the Democrats the least is a national embarrassment.
