Three tries to Subpoena Musk and Democrats Fail

‘You’re Out Of Order’: Oversight Hearing Erupts After Dem Rep Grandstands Over Elon Musk Subpoena Motion

"A House Oversight Committee hearing went haywire on Wednesday after Democratic New Mexico Rep. Melanie Stansbury ranted following the Republicans’ decision to table a motion to subpoena Department of Government Efficiency Chair Elon Musk.

The motion was introduced by Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, who argued it was necessary due to Musk’s “prominence and his importance” in his role, but House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer asserted the motion was “not debatable.”

As Republicans on the committee moved to table it following pushback from members who wanted to debate it, Stansbury raised what she claimed was a “point of order.”

James Comer and other members disagreed.

Afterward, a committee member requested a “recorded vote” on the motion to subpoena Musk, which Comer allowed. The motion ultimately failed on a party-line vote, with 20 members voting against and 19 in favor, according to Politico.

A member of the committee subsequently requested another “recorded vote” on the motion to subpoena Musk which the Chair allowed. The motion ultimately failed along party lines, with 20 members voting against and 19 in favor." [Daily Caller]
