The constitutional amendment on school prayer should be on the floor for a vote. The constitutional amendment on abortion should be on the floor for a vote. Proposed reforms on bankruptcy. criminal law. immigration and enterprise zones should come to the floor for a vote. Proxy voting on committees should be eliminated. This. my colleagues and friends. is a process whereby a committee chairman or subcommittee chairman can sit there as a part of a committee process of serious deliberations. with anywhere from one to seven or eight proxies in his or her pocket. and when the issue comes to a vote. those Members votes are voted even though they may have never heard one whit of the testimony coming from the witnesses relating to that particular issue.
