I think these assault weapons are a problem. So I favor closing the gun show loophole. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to close it, but then the majority in the House of Representatives went the other way. That's still pending. If we could get agreement on that, maybe they could pass that in the final days of this Congress.
The speaker is a member of the House of Representatives.
By indicating that he or she casts a tie-breaking vote and then references a separate vote in the House of Representatives, the speaker cannot be a member of the House. They, therefore must be able to cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and that can only be done by the currently seated Vice-President of The United States.
