Speaker Paul Ryan has conducted a fraudulent session and vote.
The session should be in contention.
Speaker Ryan stated, "The ayes have it." It was impossible to hear a majority choice." It is fraudulent and the proceedings going forward is fraudulent.
In checking with "Robert's Rules of Order," the US Speaker Paul Ryan mishandled the entire session.
Don't believe me? Look it up. I don't feel like being particularly helpful.

In Congress, "the vast majority of actions decided by a voice vote" are ones for which "a strong or even overwhelming majority favors one side," or...
There was no strong or overwhelming majority that could be heard. The only strong and overwhelming words that could be heard was that of the oppositional (The Nay Vote) of the US House Democrats. The verbal "Aye" was never heard. The ONLY verbal vote was that of the opposition. Ryan not only defrauded the vote, he ignored the strong verbal reply. He completely ignored the Democrats in opposition to the vote.
A Speaker cannot pick and choose the verbal majority.

...even unanimous consent. This is because after the chair announces what he believes to be the result of a voice vote, any member can request a division of the assembly (a rising vote, where each sides rise in turn to be counted), and one-fifth of members can demand a recorded vote on any question.
It's estimated that more than 95 percent of the resolutions passed by state legislatures are passed by a unanimous voice vote, many without discussion; this is because resolutions are often on routine, noncontroversial matters, such as commemorating important events or recognizing group.
