CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 36

119th Congress · Session 1 · February 10, 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-692 — China Exchange Rate Transparency Act of 2025

This bill requires the United States Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund to advocate for more transparency regarding the exchange rate policies of the People's Republic of China. The Secretary of the Treasury must instruct this director to push for enhanced surveillance of China's exchange rate arrangements, including indirect interventions. This includes calling for the inclusion of any significant policy divergences during IMF consultations.
