alexander hamilton did not serve in the house of representatives. you had instances sometimes especially in the late 18th and early 19th centuries where they went after cabinet officials and private citizens. that was the censure then. the constitution is clear that that -- congress can sanction its own members in the house and senate. that's what happened today. this goes on paul gosar's permanent record. something that will be in his obituary, same with charlie rangel ten years ago, december 2 of 2010. that's when he was censured. again, this doesn't happen very often. prior to that you have to go back to the 1980s to find a member that was censured. three in the last 40 years, neil. >> neil: if he's re-elected, does the censure carry on? >> yeah. it's on your record. the key thing there is even if democrats let's say -- let's say democrats hold on to the house. they could make a decision to allow him to serve on committees, this is the bridge too far that a lot of members on the republican side of the aisle thought was different about this censur

bad example for the rest of the country. dishonor to the house of representatives which you serve. two versus -- democrats and republicans, 395 versus 28 no republicans against the speaker of the house at the time. so it was most unfortunate, but nonetheless, i want to say i am proud of the committees. the rules committee went into action. jim mcgovern, as usual, and the rules committee prepared us to come to the floor. we met with the leadership and the members to see what the approach should be. and it was overwhelming that we would -- we could not let this stand. we had to go for the maximum penalty that we could achieve. anything more than that would have required 2/3 vote of the congress. you know that was not a possibility. in any event, we were very proud of the work of ted deutch, the chair of the ethics committee. as i said, jim mcgovern. right away, the motion of censure from jackie speier, distinguished member of congress. and also, i thought congresswoman ocasio-cortez who said so beautifully on the house floor, why can't you admit this is wrong when someone is talking

of representatives. will this be a transformational moment? >> if he gets this through as phil mattingly was saying. but when you take a look at everything that's on this graphic, wolf, you see that even if they get part of it, they are affecting younger families in this country, older families, families in poverty. and they're talking about the future. they're talking about fighting climate change. they're talking about things like child tax credit. paid family leave, which as we all know, joe manchin objects to. who knows if that's going to remain or not remain. but given the struggle to get this through, what is remarkable about what happened this morning is the virtual unity of the democrats in supporting this. we all know what they went through with the progressives and the moderates and there was only one democrat voting against this. all republicans voted against it. but hats off to nancy pelosi for shepherding this through. ron klain, the white house chief of staff, just tweeted that she is the g

and yes, they have a five-vote majority in the house of representatives. so if they could keep all of their folks in line, they will pass this bill through the house. now, here is the bad news for them. the senate is split 50/50 and a bill of this nature cannot pass the senate with 50 votes unless it is under special budget rules called reconciliation. but reconciliation has some strict parameters drawn around it. and if they violate those parameters, then suddenly they will have to achieve the 60-vote majority that you normally would to stop the filibuster. this bill will come back from the senate, if the house passes it and they may well today, tomorrow, next week, who knows, but this bill will then go over to the senate and when it comes back, it will in in way resemble the bill that was sent over there. but here is the deal. when it comes back, the house will simply have to rubber stamp it and send it down to the president for significanture. there not be a chance to amendment or fine tune anything or debate it. it is a take it or leave it proposition

in the face of chinese competition. >> the house of representatives passed the infrastructure and investment in jobs act that's a fancy way of saying a bipartisan infrastructure bill a once in a generation investment that's going to create millions of jobs to modernize our infrastructure, roads and bridges and broadband to turn the climate crisis into an opportunity and it puts us on the path to win the competition that we face with china and other large companies and the rest of the world. >> democrats were able to pass the bill after progressives agreed to support it, in return for backing from sen tiss for a larger $1.75 trillion package that proposal covers climate change as well as the social safety net representatives passed a procedural vote saturday morning ahead of a vote on the fuel bill former consultant department of homeland security joins us now thank you for being with us in a big week for washington. starting with the infrastructure bill, which gained support at the end of last week, what did the progressives within the democratic party have to give up in order to get this ac

house of representatives black hearted? >> well, just speaks to how -- but it's really incumbent upon leaders in congress to try to set a better tone and tenor. there used to be a time when members would debate policies and ideas, and not lob insults at each other or smears, as in the case of lauren boebert on representative omar. i mean, the lack of the maintenance of standards is a serious issue. you know, kevin mccarthy did the right thing with steve king a few years ago because of king's incendiary -- racially incendiary comments but i think it's now important for kevin mccarthy to stand up, and deal with these issues internally. you know, i was chairman of the ethics committee, wolf. i didn't volunteer for the job. nobody likes to solve as head of internal affairs for the police department for congress. that's not why you run but it's a job that somebody has to do. i mean, members -- some members have to be taught, you know, how to engage civilly in a debate with their colleagues and when they are at home, not to go ou

you don't throw that into the storm and chaos that is the republican house of representatives, and so that is mark meadows not trying to make the day go better for kevin mccarthy. donald trump at some point will discover, he'll see an organizational chart at some point, and discover that the speaker of the house is actually ranked lower constitutionally than the president or vice president, like he'll be, you know, he'll be junior to kamala harris if he wants to be speaker of the house, so i, you know, i kind of doubt it. >> it's always been interesting to me, too, in terms of mccarthy's position among house republicans. he doesn't really have any constituency, you know what i mean, like on the house side, nancy pelosi, not just through seniority, but through longevity, and through the work that she's done, like democrat wills sing her praises and talk about her as a good leader, even those that disagree with her on some things or aren't idealogically in the same place. i have never heard a republican of any stripe say i'm team mccarthy. he has the position by dent of the way the line

a member of congress censored by the house of representatives. but now arizona's paul gosar has the dubious distinction thanks to a photo shopped video he posted online. cnn's jessica dean explains. >> the house will be in order. will representative gosar present himself in the will? -- well? by its adoption of house resolution 789, the house has resolved that representative paul gosar of arizona be censured. >> reporter: the democratic-led house of representatives took the rare and serious step of censuring republican representative paul gosar after he posted a photo shopped anime video showing him appearing to kill representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president joe biden. >> it's pretty cut and dry. do you find -- does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? >> reporter: ocasio-cortez addressed the house before the vote, framing the situation as a question of, quote, what we are willing to accept. >> our work here matters. our example matters. there is meaning in our service. and as leaders in this country, when w

this in the house of representatives. this is the plan. we think there's going to be a vote on the infrastructure bill later today. that is something they want to do, the democrats don't have the votes to pass. they want to decouple infrastructure from the social spending plan. they held a passive of infrastructure. the house could show a win by aligning with the senate and passing infrastructure. progressives are pushing back on that. the g.o.p. says democrats are tone-deaf after tuesday's election. >> we've got thousands to millions of voters who just gave you a very clear message. and where the democrats today? breaking their own rules, setting new records of just keeping votes open, and trying to intimidate and bully members to vote for something. >> the house set a record for the length of the roll call vote, vote to adjourn just after 8:00 this morning and lasted more than seven hours per had lots of demand action. >> we've got to deliver, you've got to give don't market it on. >> they can only lose three votes. nei

of representatives. the progressive members of her party only want to see that bill pass if the broader $1.75 trillion spending package my joe biden is included with that. it is not appear that is going to be the case. she is going to try to move a procedural vote on that tonight as well and try to pass that later sometime by thanksgiving. the question is whether other members of her party, particularly the far left members, are willing to go along with it. she did allude to -- or one of the questions posed to her alluded to the head of that progressive caucus, pramila jayapal of seattle, who has been out i believe today saying that she is not necessarily on board with this. >> she is sticking to her guns in terms of what the progressives are willing to do which is a vote on both bills. perilla drive all -- pramila jayapal is saying if some of the memories of our party need a cdo score, that is fine. when they are ready to vote on it, we will vote on both. but speaker pelosi is saying that she is going t
