Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, March 30, 2006: “The American people ... have to work five days a week. I don’t know why we shouldn’t.”
Politico just reported that the House no longer works 4 days a week. It works 2 1/2 days — a half-day on Tuesday and full days on Wednesday and Thursday.
Missouri Republican Congressman Roy Blunt looks on the bright side: "Two and a half days a week is plenty of time to consider the ideas coming out of this Democrat-led House. Imagine the damage they could do with five-day workweeks."
And from a comment at Don's place: ”[A]s long as the Democrats are in power, a two-day Congressional workweek should be seen as a blessing.”
