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 aims to condemn specific members of the House Republican Conference leadership team. The action follows a post made on X by the conference's political arm regarding Congressman Adriano Espaillat. The post called into question his immigration status and patriotism. The resolution argues this rhetoric is xenophobic, inaccurate, and beneath the oath of office. It specifically targets several high-ranking Republican officials for allowing this false statement to occur.
