Rep. James Traficant, an Ohio Democrat who has praised Hastert as "a man of the people," crossed party lines to vote for him as speaker. Consequently, House Democratic leaders said they would not give Traficant a committee assignment and he no longer was welcome in the House Democratic Caucus. A spokesman for Traficant said he had no plans of becoming a Republican, but may declare himself an independent. The Senate and House each held opening day sessions of several hours. The Senate reconvenes on Thursday. The House recessed until Saturday when the two chambers will hold a joint session to count the Electoral College votes that will formally make Bush the winner of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential race.
