Where this sits in the process
Common questions
Composed from the official record
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?

The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.

The record's latest action, on February 10, 2026: Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

What is a simple resolution, exactly?

A simple resolution concerns one chamber only, such as its own rules or an expression of its opinion. The other chamber and the President play no part, and it does not carry the force of law.

Has anyone actually voted on it?

Yes. 2 recorded roll-call votes cite this measure, listed further down this page with every member's position.

Who is behind it?

Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY) introduced it on February 9, 2026. No cosponsors are recorded.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

How long has it been in play?

It was introduced on February 9, 2026, 213 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 212 days ago, on February 10, 2026.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.

That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.

Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
