A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — On agreeing to the resolution Agreed to by recorded vote: 217 - 212 (Roll no. 198).
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
- Introduced
- Adopted by the House 217–212
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 establishes specific procedures for the House of Representatives to consider several legislative matters. It outlines the rules for debating and amending H.R. 4016, which involves appropriations for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2026. Additionally, it provides instructions for considering H.R. 3633 regarding the regulation of digital commodities. It also addresses H.R. 1919, which seeks to amend the Federal Reserve Act regarding products, services, and central bank digital currency. Finally, the resolution covers the consideration of S. 1582 concerning the regulation of payment stablecoins.

- The House: a vote to stop debate and move to the decision A House procedural vote that closes off further debate and amendments. It is about the schedule, not the substance, and it usually falls along party lines. Previous question agreed to 211 yes · 210 no

- The House: the vote just before this succeeded, and this locks it in After a question is decided, any member could ask for the vote to be taken again. Setting that request aside — "laying it on the table" — makes the decision final. It is the routine last step after a bill passes the House, so this usually means the chamber said yes, not that the bill was shelved. It follows every other House decision too, though: after a vote to kill the bill, it is that vote it locks in. Motion to reconsider agreed to 215 yes · 211 no
