"For the first time in history, a bill in the House was passed without a physical quorum present—more people voted by proxy than in person," McCarthy tweeted. "The omnibus will damage our country, & the blatant disregard for Article I, Section 5 of our Constitution will forever stain this Congress."
The bill passed by a vote of 225-201, with nine Republicans voting in favor of the omnibus. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voted against the bill and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. voted present.
