CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 395

119th Congress · Session 1 · July 16, 2025

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

119-HR-4 — Rescissions Act of 2025

The Rescissions Act of 2025 cancels various budget authorizations as proposed by the President on June 3, 2025.

The act also removes funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
