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 is called the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Resolution. It deals with the money given to members of the House of Representatives for their official expenses, known as the Members' Representational Allowance. Specifically, it sets this allowance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The amount for those two years will be whatever each member received in fiscal year 2025. However, that 2025 amount will be cut down by $100,000 for each member.

  • Does this make what the government does easier for the public to see?+2

    The resolution's title and intent suggest a push for more fiscal accountability in congressional operations.
