The House has recessed until after the November election, sparking ire from Republicans as the lower chamber has left behind a long to-do list involving spending bills, contempt resolutions, task forces, and censure initiatives.

On the House floor on Tuesday, lawmakers burst into applause when it was announced that scheduled votes for Thursday and Friday would be canceled. However, the announcement angered some like Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who famously called out the Republican conference last year for a weak voting record and giving members nothing on which to go home to their districts and campaign.
