Congressman Andrew Clyde announces lawsuit against HR 73

U.S. Congressman Andrew Clyde filed a federal lawsuit late Sunday night against House Resolution 73, which Clyde called "unconstitutional."

Clyde, who represents the 9th District, spoke Monday morning on WDUN's The Martha Zoller Show. 

"That resolution violates our Constitution on three grounds, Article 1, Section 5, Article 1, Section 6 and the 27th Amendment of the Constitution are all being violated by this resolution," Clyde told Zoller. "That Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in House pushed through without a single Republican vote on that resolution."

The resolution addresses fining members, delegates, or the Resident Commissioner for failing to complete security screenings at the entrance of the House Chamber, as well as for other purposes. The full resolution can be found here.

Clyde said he was confident they would win the case. 

A press conference is scheduled for Monday morning at 11:30 a.m. on Capitol grounds.
