A teenage Dabbed in front of congress. The group didn't understand what it was. The 17 year old explained it to them.

("Dabbing" is not to be confused with, uh, "dabbing," the practice of consuming marijuana extract in search of a stronger high. The two are not related.)

'He's sneezing'

"Are you all right?" Mr. Ryan asked Cal, who was technically doing a half-dab, while one of his arms was occupied holding the Bible. He nodded to the speaker of the House, and said yes. Mr. Marshall, oblivious, continued to pose for the photographer.

Cal, unable to contain his delight at his own joke, laughed again when his father turned around, and Mr. Ryan asked him to put his hand down.

"He's sneezing," Mr. Marshall said as Mr. Ryan, who spent much of Tuesday posing for photos with new representatives, smiles the sort of smile that indicates that he was confused but playing along.

They pulled together for the photo, and Cal continued to smile to himself, probably oblivious to the punishment that awaited him once the cameras were off.

Was it worth it, Cal?

It didn't take long for people who had been watching the day's swearing-in ceremonies on C-Span to warm to Cal's move.

By Tuesday evening, Mr. Ryan had, apparently, spoken with a staff member who explained that he'd been involved in a joke. "Just finished swearing-in photos," he tweeted. "Nearly 300 members. Countless cute kids. Still don't get what dabbing is, though."

Cal is, depending on which corner of the internet you subscribe to, a spoiled brat who ruined one of the biggest days of his father's life, or a true American hero who saw his opportunity and seized it.

In the end, the only opinion that matters is his parents'. As of Tuesday afternoon, Cal is apparently grounded.

Just so you know @SpeakerRyan: He&#39;s grounded. https://t.co/PGGhYXEfQv

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is America's most important piece of civil rights legislation. The Act outlaws discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The Act also requires desegregation in public areas and schools.The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was also signed into law by President Johnson, and was intended to undo the effect of Jim Crow laws and other restrictions on voting that disenfranchised minority voters. When considering the Voting Rights Act, Congress determined that the current federal anti-discrimination laws were insufficient to protect minority citizens' voting rights, primarily due to widespread resistance to equal rights by state officials. In 2013, the Supreme Court invalidated a part of the Voting Rights Act in the seminal case, Shelby County v. Holder.
