The President’s national emergency for covid-19 was issued March 13 2020 under 50 USC Chapter 34 National Emergencies Act. The House passed H.Res. 965/967allowing proxy voting under the pre-text of a national health emergency, covid-19. The House waited to 2 months after a national emergency proclamation to amend Rules of the House. The House did not follow existing Rules, violated their amended Rules and the Floor votes were unlawful and unconstitutional.

1. The covid-19 national emergency is issued under 50 USC §1621 (Chapter 34)

2. H. Res. 967 allowing cites 50 USC §1546 of the War Powers Resolution (Chapter 33) to except number of days to act on legislation.

3. H. Res. 965/967 cite recommendation of the attending physicians for the quorum change but does not fulfill Rule XX requirements for report of incapacitated members by Sargent-at-Arms.

6. Rules of the House Rule XX requires a quorum for a floor vote on legislation.

7. US Constitution Article I Section 5 Clause 1 requires a Quorum of a majority of members to conduct Business.

8. The House did not have a quorum of members in Washington to cast votes on legislation.

9. The May 15 video stream of the House Floor and tally of Not Voting (NV) clearly indicates less than a majority of members were present that day.

10. The House could not amend the Rules to allow proxy voting because it did not correctly cite the national emergency proclamation or have a quorum to conduct the floor vote.

11. H. Res. 967 cites effective dates to allow proxy voting as May 19 2020- July 21 2020. The resolution cites H.R. 6800 vote may be conducted upon passage but the (illegal) rule change is not effective until May 19 and no provision for proxy voting on May 15 provided.

12. House passage of H.R. 6800 is invalid as it did not have legal authority to conduct a proxy vote and a quorum was not present to conduct a floor vote.
