CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 170

119th Congress · Session 2 · May 14, 2026

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
