CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Mike Flood (R-NE)

Ranking a Member on a certain standing committee of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 39 · 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.

What this bill would do

This House Resolution simply deals with the committee assignments for members of Congress. Specifically, it officially ranks Ms. Maloy on the Committee on Appropriations. She will be placed to rank immediately after Mr. Strong on that committee. The resolution was agreed to in the House of Representatives on January 14, 2025. This is an administrative action regarding how our elected officials are organized within the House.
