CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 269

119th Congress · Session 1 · September 16, 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-2721 — Honoring Our Heroes Act of 2025

This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a pilot program. This program aims to provide headstones, burial markers, or medallions to certain veterans. The authority applies to veterans who died on or after December 7, 1941, and are eligible for burial in a national cemetery. This authority lasts for seven years following the enactment of the Act. Additionally, the bill extends certain limits on pension payments.
