CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 249

119th Congress · Session 2 · July 16, 2026

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on
