A second attempt to pass a bipartisan disaster aid package has failed after a House Republican voted on Tuesday against a bill that would secure $19 billion in emergency relief.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) objected to the legislations passage during a voice vote and asked that another vote be held after the House returns from recess next week.

Lawmakers are currently on a 10-day recess for Memorial Day. Because of the recess, the bill required a unanimous vote to pass. This rule can be removed if recess is ended early, Roll Call reported.

The Constitution is unambiguous, conducting this type of business requires at least half of Congress to be present, Massie said on Twitter . If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi considered this must pass legislation, why did she send everyone home on recess for ten days before voting on it?
