CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 243

119th Congress · Session 1 · September 9, 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-682 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3838) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2026 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3486) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to increase penalties for individuals who illegally enter and reenter the United States after being removed, and for other purposes.

This resolution provides for the consideration of two different bills in the House. The first bill, H.R. 3838, seeks to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2026 regarding military activities for the Department of Defense, military construction, and defense activities for the Department of Energy. It also intends to prescribe military personnel strengths for that fiscal year. The second bill, H.R. 3486, aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. This amendment would increase penalties for individuals who illegally enter and reenter the United States after being removed.
