Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

H. Res. 100 expresses support for the continued value of arms control agreements and negotiated constraints on Russian and Chinese strategic nuclear forces. The text condemns the Russian Federation's nuclear escalatory rhetoric, veiled threats, and its purported suspension of the New START Treaty. It emphasizes the importance of transparency, verification measures, and onsite inspections that have provided insight into Russia's nuclear arsenal. The resolution calls for an immediate cessation of nuclear saber rattling and urges the Russian Federation to return to full implementation of the New START Treaty. Additionally, it calls on the administration to pursue a dialogue with Russia on a new post-2026 nuclear arms control framework and to continue engaging the People's Republic of China in bilateral talks on nuclear risk reduction and arms control.
