Potty Parity Comes to the House

Six months after the U.S. House of Representatives held hearings on ensuring bathroom equality in government buildings, the lower chamber is now getting its due. They will be converting the space currently used by the Office of the Parliamentarian into a women's restroom.

"According to an announcement from the GOP transition team, the woman's restroom will be adjacent to the House floor to accommodate the 71 female members in the next Congress, something current female members live without."

I'm going to refrain from praising the move, but I'm surprised to find out it hasn't happened yet especially since this incoming House delegation will have 5 less women than the outgoing one.

Oh, and wondering what happened to the other potty parity legislation? Yup, you guessed it. It's stalled.

UPDATE: The bathroom was apparently attempted before but was blocked because of costs. It'll run Congress $200,000.
