Washington (CNN) - They voted, and they participated in the Republican-mandated reading of the Constitution on the House floor. But two Republicans missed their official swearing in on the House floor on Wednesday and weren't officially members of Congress as the chamber began its first full day of official business on Thursday.

The new Republican House majority was a little red-faced to learn that Reps. Pete Sessions of Texas and Mike Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania were attending a reception for Fitzpatrick's constituents in a room on the Capitol campus - and took the oath of office while watching the floor proceedings on television.


Details, Details

His own. Leader that he is he should have been in there with the rest taking his oath.

Not everyone likes the theater.

But the GOP may be facing even bigger problems. According to reports, the party that Sessions and Fitzpatrick attended might have been a fundraiser for the Pennsylvania congressman — a violation of House rules that block the use of government facilities to raise campaign cash.

Fitzpatrick's office has denied that the event was for fundraising. But the Sunlight Foundation, a campaign finance watchdog group, reports that attendees were asked to pay $30 for transportation to the event and were solicited for contributions to Fitzpatrick's 2012 re-election campaign.
