Following RM Warren's Motion and Committee Vote, Hearing Reenters Closed Session

Just for clarity's sake, watching CCM's face over there, she's like, what? For clarity's sake, we are now back in open session. We are now going to have a vote to go back into closed session to discuss the underlying issue. No? Mr. Kramer? No. Mr. Moreno? No. Mr. McCormick? No. Ms. Warren? Yes. Mr. Reed? Yes. Mr. Warner? Yes, by proxy. Mr. Van Hollen? Yes, by proxy. Ms. Cortez Masto? Yes. Ms. Smith? Yes, by proxy. Mr. Warnock? Yes, by proxy. Mr. Kim? Yes. Mr. Gallego? Yes, by proxy. Ms. Blunt-Rochester? Yes. Ms. Althabroth? Yes, by proxy. Mr. Brown? Not voting. And... Not present. Point of clarification before you, my understanding is in order to have a prevailing vote, you must be present. The majority has to be present. You can't win a vote by proxy. That holds for matters put out of committee. Not internally? Thank you. Mr. Chairman, just a point of order. This was a decision that was made five minutes ago. I'm just curious how all these proxies came in. I have a proxy with my members. So they knew there was going to be a vote? My members have given me their proxies. For anything? I'm just asking a point of order. I have specific proxies. Thank you. Okay. Have they been shared with the clerk? They have been shared with the clerk? Yes. The proxies? Yes. The vote is 12 aye. We will go back into executive session, closed session. So, unfortunately, we'll see you in a few minutes.
