CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 115

119th Congress · Session 1 · May 5, 2025

A fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass

The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.

What was being voted on

119-HR-530 — ACES Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to arrange for a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This study focuses on the prevalence and mortality of various cancers among individuals who served as active duty aircrew on fixed-wing aircraft. The study will identify related exposures and review literature to find associations between those exposures and specific cancers. Additionally, the bill extends certain limits on pension payments from November 30, 2031, to December 31, 2031.
