Bromley to argue House power over member qualifications
Bruce Bromley, 76, former judge and lawyer, will speak for the House on its authority to judge member qualifications. He will contend the House acted within its rights when excluding Powell over a $40 000 government funds misuse and conduct toward New York courts, and that the case is moot since the 90th Congress is past.
