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

This resolution seeks to expunge the two impeachments of President Donald Trump. It targets the impeachment from December 18, 2019, and the impeachment from January 13, 2021. The text argues that the President was wrongfully accused due to biased evidence and a lack of due process. It claims that the legislative process used for these impeachments failed to follow regular order or provide meaningful deliberation. If passed, the resolution would treat the impeachments as if the Articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.
