CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 132

119th Congress · Session 1 · May 19, 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-1263 — Strengthening the Quad Act

This bill aims to increase cooperation between the United States, Australia, India, and Japan. It requires the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to boost engagement and bolster democratic leadership in the Indo-Pacific. The bill also directs the creation of a Quad Inter-Parliamentary Working Group to facilitate closer cooperation on shared interests. This group would consist of a United States Group made up of up to 24 Members of Congress. The legislation seeks to address various regional challenges through strengthened diplomatic and economic ties.
