CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Mike Flood (R-NE)

Electing a Member to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 1381 · House resolution Congress

A Republican resolution with no cosponsors

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

  1. Introduced
  2. Adopted by the House unanimous consent

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.

The House by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote): no member's position on it was recorded.
