I don’t think that’s actually been a real issue. While Johnson waited some 3-4 weeks to swear in Grijalva around the recent shutdown, congress was technically in recess the whole time. While it’s kinda a jerk move, the moment he finally called back congress into session he did swear her in. So nothing was voted on or done inbetween her being eligible to be sworn in and when she was actually sworn in.
He did keep congress in recess for a long time to hold up passing the bill on the epstein file release (as Grijalva was a critical vote on that), but it didn’t really change anything.


I don’t disagree, Johnson has been abusing the power to recess congress throughout his tenure.
I was just noting that he hasn’t crossed the line of not swearing someone in. If he was preventing someone casting votes that should/would be a big deal.
