CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Joe Neguse (D-CO)

Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 22 · House resolution Congress

A Democratic 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.

What this bill would do

This resolution elects specific members of the House of Representatives to various standing committees. It names the individuals chosen for the Committee on Appropriations. It also assigns members to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. Additionally, the text designates the representatives who will serve on the Committee on Financial Services. Finally, it names the members appointed to the Committee on Ways and Means.
