CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 235

119th Congress · Session 2 · July 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-HR-8897 — Improving Travel for American Families Act

This bill allows the TSA Administrator to establish a pilot program to speed up security screening for adults and children twelve years of age and under. This program aims to make travel easier for these passengers at selected airports. The Administrator must ensure that security protocols are not compromised and that all passengers are screened according to their Secure Flight status. Airports will be chosen based on passenger volume of families and the ability to provide adequate space and staff.
