CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 58

119th Congress · Session 2 · February 9, 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-1531 — PROTECT Taiwan Act

This act directs financial regulators to exclude representatives of the People's Republic of China from specific international banking organizations. This exclusion is triggered if the President informs Congress of threats to Taiwan's security or economic system or dangers to United States interests resulting from the actions of the People's Republic of China. The targeted organizations include the Group of Twenty, the Bank for International Settlements, and several other financial oversight bodies.
