The pretense is very tiresome, although it did result in this amusing exchange.

I'm sure Jordan knew the real reason Grijalva hasn't been sworn in, but I think probably also believed what he was saying about new House members never being sworn in during a pro forma session. He seemed to be caught flat-footed when Collins pointed out the two recent exceptions, and his reaction was pretty darned funny!
