CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 118

119th Congress · Session 1 · May 6, 2025

The vote on whether to adopt the resolution

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.

What was being voted on

119-HRES-377 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 276) to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘‘Gulf of America”, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 881) to establish Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions on institutions of higher education that have a relationship with Confucius Institutes, and for other purposes.

This resolution allows the House to consider two specific bills. The first bill, H.R. 276, aims to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." The second bill, H.R. 881, focuses on creating Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions for higher education institutions associated with Confucius Institutes. The resolution sets the rules for how these bills will be debated and passed.
