CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 287

119th Congress · Session 1 · November 17, 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-2659 — Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act

This Act establishes an interagency task force to protect United States critical infrastructure from cyber threats. The task force focuses on state-sponsored actors from the People's Republic of China, specifically mentioning Volt Typhoon. Led by the Director of CISA and the Director of the FBI, the group will facilitate coordination among various federal agencies. The task force is required to submit an initial report and then annual reports for five years to congressional committees. These reports will assess risks, potential disruptions, and the ability of the U.S. to counter these threats.
