   Speaker Mike Johnson is resisting calls to swear in Democratic   
   Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, saying Monday that he will administer the   
   oath of office to her after the Senate votes to reopen the government.   
      
   As Democrats decry the almost monthlong delay, Johnson has maintained   
   that he is "following the Pelosi precedent" -- when three Republicans   
   who had won special elections during recess waited until the House   
   returned to session before then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi swore them into   
   office.   
      
   Grijalva won her special election on Sept. 23 -- four days after Johnson   
   dismissed lawmakers following House passage of the clean continuing   
   resolution to fund the government. Since the last vote in the House,   
   Republicans have canceled 14 days of legislative business -- including   
   four days this week -- as the impasse drags on.   
      
   "Rep. Grijalva won her race in the I think it was the last week of   
   September after we had already gone out of session, so I will administer   
   the oath to her, hope on the first day we come back [to] legislative   
   session," Johnson said in a news conference Monday. "I'm willing and   
   anxious to do that."
