CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Pete Aguilar (D-CA)

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

H.Res. 538 · 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 addresses the ranking of a specific Member of the House of Representatives. It proposes a change to the standing committee order for the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Specifically, it calls for Mr. Garcia of California to be ranked before Ms. Norton. This action was processed in the House of Representatives on June 24, 2025.
