There's a new argument going on in Congress, and it's not about legislation or Democrats vs. Republicans. It's about COVID-era proxy voting, or letting members of Congress delegate their voting duty so they can "work from home." Current rules require members of Congress to show up in person to vote.

If you are unable to fulfill the duties required of a member of Congress because you are a parent of a small child, feel free to resign. Many have before.

They're making it an issue. But is it a slippery slope?
