Mike Flood (R-NE)
Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.
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
- Introduced
- 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 officially elects specific members of the House of Representatives to various standing committees. It names the members chosen to serve on the Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on Education and Workforce, and the Committee on Homeland Security. Additionally, it appoints members to the Committee on Rules and designates the chair for that committee. Finally, the text assigns members to the Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
