Tl;dr: Dems effort to censure Trumps comments have hit a stumbling block in that apparently there is a congressional rule against calling the President a racist.

Probably an Obama era thing, looks like the far left got owned by a possible Obama-era policy.

From the looks of it these rules were added in 2016 and more recently?

The rule seems to date back to Jefferson, the dates in that tweet I shared above were times when they were broken, perhaps?

America deserves to fall like the Roman Empire did and I'm sure we're heading in that direction anyways, soon Russia and China are going to be the new boys in town calling the shots instead of America which has turn into a joke of a country thanks to the man baby president and the chuds that supports and stands by him.

the only way something this stupid exists is that presidents were, in fact, racist.

Holy shit, a bunch of the democrats shouted nay, but not one would actually put it on record.

Three republicans were willing to so 3 votes to strike it from the record carried it.

Source?

The vote tally is like the last frame of that video, itself only about a minute long. I can't tell if that's summary for a vote currently in progress or if literally not one Dem actually digitally submitted the 'no' vote. Given how vocal they appear to be, I'm assuming this is the former.

Eh, more of a guideline. They can change it with a simple majority and looks like it's going to happen.

There is none. That's how stupidly adherent they are to tradition and shit. It's rhetorical I guess but still.
