In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

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 commends President Trump and various government agencies for the success of "Operation Absolute Resolve." The operation involved apprehending Nicolas Maduro and dismantling the command structure of the Cartel de los Soles. The text describes Maduro as a fugitive charged with narcoterrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine. It further alleges that the Maduro regime dismantled democratic institutions and used drug trafficking to fuel the American overdose epidemic. Finally, the resolution expresses support for a transition to free and fair elections in Venezuela.
