CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 166

119th Congress · Session 2 · May 13, 2026

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-HRES-1251 — Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism and educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish-American community.

This resolution highlights the history and contributions of the Jewish-American community to the United States. It traces the recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month from its origins in 1980 to recent presidential proclamations. The text notes the military service of Jewish Americans, including those who received the Medal of Honor, and the historical support for religious freedom. It also addresses the rising frequency of antisemitic incidents and the resulting concerns regarding safety.
