Images from Disney's animated Robin Hood movie with Robin Hood and Little John in dresses and Prince John sucking his thumb and talking to Sir Hiss. Across the middle it says, "Some of us were raised by Drag performers fighting false kings and it shows."

Not legally. But keeping the house out of session for more than 3 days without the agreement of the senate is also illegal, so... Mike Johnson is committing a crime.

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.
Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

Yep, if they aren't in session, there can't be any votes. BTW, it's a violation of the constitution to not be in session for more than 3 consecutive days without the approval of the other Congress house. Mike Johnson is in violation of the constitution.

Your presence was in Sacramento last weekend, too, since I wore your pin to the no kings:

1/2 Someone pointed out today that the House of Representatives can't be fully shut down for more than 3 days without the consent of the senate according to Article 1, section 5 of the US Constitution, so I looked it up. Speaker Johnson holds the power to call the House back into Session.

Section 5
Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.
Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.
