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

  1. Introduced
  2. 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 calls for the censure of Representative LaMonica McIver and her removal from the Committee on Homeland Security. The resolution cites an incident on May 9, 2025, at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility. It alleges that Representative McIver was charged in a three-count indictment for assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with Federal officers. Specifically, she is alleged to have challenged guidance regarding access to a secure facility and interfered with HSI officials and an ICE Deportation Officer. The resolution states these actions do not reflect creditably on the House and create a conflict of interest.

What Congress actually voted on

One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.

None of them settled the bill — every vote so far has been about whether to keep going.

  • The House: a vote to kill something without debating it Setting a measure aside permanently. A successful motion to table ends the matter, so a vote for tabling is a vote against whatever was tabled. Motion to table agreed to 215 yes · 207 no
