CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 18

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 21, 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-186 — Hershel Woody Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act

This Act authorizes the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to establish a commemorative work on the National Mall. The purpose is to honor the valor, selfless service, and sacrifice of Medal of Honor recipients. Specifically, the bill directs that the monument be located within the Reserve. This legislation serves as an extension of previous authorizations regarding the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.
