Common questions
Composed from the official recordWhere is it in the process, and what happens next?
This joint resolution failed the vote the record describes below. A measure that fails is not revived; the same text has to be introduced again as a new measure.
The record's latest action, on April 30, 2025: Motion to table the motion to reconsider the vote by which S.J. Res. 49 failed of passage (Record Vote No. 225) agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 50 - 49. Record Vote Number: 226.
What is a joint resolution, exactly?
A joint resolution travels the same road as a bill: both chambers pass it and the President signs it, and it then has the same force as any other law. The label is largely a matter of custom, often used for narrow or time-limited measures.
One exception matters. A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution is not sent to the President at all. It goes to the states, and three quarters of them have to ratify it.
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?
Ron Wyden (D-OR) introduced it on April 10, 2025, and 6 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 5 Democrats, 1 Republican.
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.
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.
