Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Adopted
The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.
Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Adopted by the House 372–53
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
This resolution declares that it is the official policy of the United States that Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism. The text cites various reasons for this stance, including financial and military support for groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. It notes that Iranian-backed proxy militias have been responsible for the deaths of United States servicemembers. The document also highlights assassination plots targeting Americans and the harboring of al-Qaeda leaders. Finally, it mentions concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program and the stockpiling of enriched uranium.
What Congress actually voted on
One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.
- The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not. Passed 372 yes · 53 no
