House Republicans have argued against proxy voting, which was introduced amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The letters he shared said the reps were"unable to attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency."
"Rep. Crist is the only member of the U.S. House to sit on both the appropriations and authorizing committees that oversee NASA's budget and policy work, and he was proud to show his support for this new chapter in our nation's space exploration journey. He looks forward to attending Saturday's rescheduled launch."
The voting measures have been defended by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who dismissed the lawsuit as a stunt. "The House's position that remote voting by proxy during a pandemic is fully consistent with the Constitution is supported by expert legal analyses. Further, the Supreme Court made clear over a century ago that the Constitution empowers each chamber of Congress to set its own procedural rules."
