Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced

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 provides for the consideration of the joint resolution H.J. Res. 91. This joint resolution relates to a national emergency declared by the President on April 2, 2025. The resolution directs the House to proceed to consideration immediately upon adoption. It waives all points of order against the consideration of the joint resolution. It also sets specific rules for debate, allowing one hour of equally divided debate.
