"Welcome, Tulsi. You can't get more hands-on then that. No photo ops for this rep. I think it is pretty cool.
regardless of how much it really matters, just how do we know that no photo ops will be occurring for this representative?
was hoping to discuss the bigger picture of this unusual arrangement than basically "this is cool, go Tulsi".
i'd like to know how this is supposed to work if it conflicts with some sudden and urgent development requiring her attention in U.S. Congress. whisked away from duty manning the barricades in Pahoa?
i suppose this from the article answers in part another question i have:
“During this time, she (Gabbard) will be unable to accept media requests or make public statements related to her official congressional duties,” reads the release.
was wondering how her duties here might be very awkwardly intermingled. wonder how her position as Congressperson affects her relationship with subordinates and superiors. ...you know in actuality it can't be entirely ignored.
if there is a deployment of US troops into armed conflict, might a member of congress enlisted in the National Guard be called away to, say, man a machine gun or perhaps perform mess hall duties, etc?

adding to my previous disclaimer: (my questioning has absolutely nothing to do with my political support for or against Tulsi Gabbard. in fact, i had been planning on voting for her today)
