House Democrats ended their takeover of the House floor shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday, a protest that began more than 24 hours ago.

 

But they pledged to continue some form of protest when the House returns from the July 4 recess.

 

"We must come back here on July 5 more determined than ever before," said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who led the protest for Democrats on the floor.

 

Democrats remained on the House floor throughout legislative business Wednesday and throughout the night, demanding the GOP allow votes on two gun control measures. The protest effectively shut down the House, although lawmakers squeezed out a series of votes in the early morning hours Thursday.

Suppose they gave a sit-in and nobody cared?
