House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is canceling the week's voting agenda after several Republicans joined Democrats in a vote to change the rules to allow new parents in Congress to vote by proxy. The announcement came after nine Republicans joined all Democrats in a 206-222 vote against Johnson's attempt to block plans that would allow lawmakers who become parents to vote remotely for up to three months.

Several months later, an aggressive attempt from House Republican leadership to prevent this from getting a vote backfired, prompting an irritated Speaker Mike Johnson to send House members home for the week—on a Tuesday afternoon!

Mike Johnson refused to pass bipartisan bill to House floor, but Republicans voted against Johnson and in favor of the bill passage. What to know.
