Tabled
The chamber set it aside for good — "tabled" it — which ends a measure without a vote on the measure itself. Where the chamber voted to table it, a yes was a vote against it.
Nothing. A tabled measure is not taken up again; if the idea comes back, it comes back as a new bill or resolution.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Tabled
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 seeks to impeach Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The document specifically includes an article of impeachment regarding the abuse of presidential powers and the disregard for the separation of powers. It alleges that the President usurped Congress's power to declare war by ordering military attacks on nuclear sites in Iran without authorization or notice. The text claims these actions were unprovoked and occurred without an imminent threat to the United States. Consequently, the resolution argues these actions facilitate a move toward authoritarianism and threaten American democracy.
