During a recent DOGE subcommittee hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Melanie Stansbury engaged in a heated argument over parliamentary procedure. Greene, asserting her role as chair, attempted to silence Stansbury while praising President Trump's dedication to veterans. Despite Stansbury's assertions regarding the rules of order, Greene repeatedly banged her gavel in an effort to dominate the discussion. The altercation highlighted ongoing tensions between the two representatives and the challenges of maintaining decorum in committee proceedings, with references made to Robert's Rules of Order.
No one loves veterans more than President Trump, and he's made that apparent. That's why he's working for peace right now, Greene said.
That's not how parliamentary procedure works, Stansbury said, as Greene continued hitting her gavel unfazed by the objections.
You can smash your gavel all day, Stansbury said, as the two continued their verbal clash, underscoring the tension over who holds authority.
Absolutely, I'm the chair of this committee, Greene reiterated, amidst the chaos, emphasizing her self-ascribed role against Stansbury's interruptions.
