The leaders of the Republican Party of the House of Representatives hoped to block the power to vote for the new parents

Republican leaders of the House of Representatives will take an unprecedented step on Tuesday when they are expected to block the high bipartisan request of the Republican representative Anna Paulina Luna to allow the vote of power of the new legislators parents up to 12 weeks after giving birth, the last movement in an internal shock of the internal repalte chamber of a week.
Republican leaders inserted a specific language in the joint “rule”, a procedural maneuver to advance in the legislation, which says that Luna’s discharge request, a hard -line republican, and other similar bills that address the vote by power are out of service.
The vote on Tuesday afternoon is on the joint rule, which also includes another unrelated legislation. Luna is expected to vote against the rule. If others join it, the Chamber could be paralyzed to move in the legislation.

Luna’s legislation seeks to allow new mothers and fathers in the Chamber to vote on legislation remotely. Luna had a son in 2023 while serving in Congress.
“I am doing this because I believe that this governing body needs to change for the best and young American parents must be heard in the halls of Congress,” Luna said last week.

This extraordinary movement of the republican party leaders to block legislation occurs after Luna received 218 signatures about its resolution, necessary enough to force the Chamber to vote on the measure. Legislators use high requests to avoid leadership, who determine what legislation reaches the floor.
The speaker Mike Johnson and Luna have disagree on the vote for the power of the new parents. The speaker has argued that the effort is unconstitutional and made his case during the meeting of the Conference of the Republican Party closed on Tuesday, the sources told ABC News.
Johnson has argued that the vote of power is the beginning of a slippery slope that could lead to more and more members to vote remotely. Voting for power was used during the Covid-19 pandemic, with which many Republicans were against.
“I think it is unconstitutional. I think it violates more than two centuries of tradition in the institution, and I think it opens a pandora box where, ultimately, maybe nobody is here, and we are all voting remotely for the or something.

Despite republican support for the bill, Johnson said: “As the leader of this institution and the one who is supposed to protect it, I do not feel that I can admit that.”
“This is a deliberative body. You cannot deliberate with your colleagues if you are outside.

Luna said In a publication on X Tuesday That she asked that the legislation only cover the new mothers to vote for power “and still said no.”
“The argument here no longer makes sense,” Luna wrote. “They say it is unconstitutional, but they voted for power.”
The vote occurs one day after Luna resigned from the freedom of the Chamber of Ultra Conservative Representatives about their legislation, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.
