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 provides for the consideration of H.R. 8035. The bill aims to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. Specifically, it seeks to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. This extension would last through October 20, 2027. The resolution also addresses other purposes and establishes the rules for debating the bill in the House.

Yes

  • Does this better protect the country from computer attacks?+4

    The extension of FISA Title VII provides authorities essential for monitoring foreign intelligence threats, which includes cyber threats.

  • Does this tighten control of the border?+3

    Extending FISA Section 702 authorities supports the intelligence gathering necessary for border and national security operations.

The opposite

  • Does this protect people from being watched or searched?-5

    The extension of surveillance authorities under FISA Title VII maintains the government's ability to conduct electronic surveillance on non-citizens, which impacts privacy protections.

    A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
