Summary
The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.
Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.
Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.

Why are any American voters ineligible? Even if they are, they are Americans who did not vote for this. They are not represented in government.
A minority of Americans voted for this.

I may have down my math wrong, but I subtracted minors. Though there’s a case that 16-18 year olds should vote.
I do think I forgot to subtract those in favor of Donald though, now that I think of it.
If they’re not citizens, they are not Americans, right?
Felons should be voting if they’re adult citizens.
Is there an intelligence requirement for voting?

Felons are not prohibited from voting by the Constitution, though a lot of states have enacted their own bans (and the Constitution does leave managing elections to the states)
That sounds strange. Who did all the other people vote for? Why is that other person not going to be president with so many votes?
1/3 of eligible voters did not vote (for or against Donald)
So they were okay with Trump being president?
