HR 1329: Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act

The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act authorizes the creation of a new Smithsonian museum dedicated to women’s history, to be located within the National Mall Reserve in Washington, D.C. If the site is managed by another federal agency, the bill requires that agency to transfer the land after notifying Congress and relevant committees. The museum must ensure exhibits and programs accurately represent diverse women’s experiences by consulting a broad range of experts and community voices. The Smithsonian will submit biennial reports to Congress detailing how the museum meets these representation standards.

HCONRES 75: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This bill directs the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from hostilities against Iran within 30 days of February 28, 2026 (the date troops were deployed), unless Congress authorizes continued action through a formal declaration of war or specific statute. It explicitly permits defensive actions, maintains non-combat troop presence in the region, and clarifies that intelligence-sharing activities related to Iran remain unaffected. The resolution does not authorize military force but aligns with the War Powers Resolution's requirement for congressional oversight of military deployments. It directly affects the President and military commanders responsible for implementing the withdrawal.

HCONRES 40: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution (HCONRES 40) directs the President to remove U.S. military forces from hostilities with Iran, as required by the War Powers Resolution. It applies directly to U.S. Armed Forces deployed in conflict with Iran, except for forces needed to defend the U.S. or allies from imminent attack. The bill mandates removal unless the President complies with War Powers Resolution reporting requirements for self-defense actions, without needing new congressional authorization. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but compels executive action under existing legal framework.

HCONRES 38: Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or any part of the Iranian government or military unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack.

HCONRES 68: To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.

HCONRES 68 would require the President to remove U.S. military forces from Venezuela unless Congress has explicitly authorized their use through a declaration of war or a specific law. This applies to any U.S. Armed Forces currently stationed in Venezuela without such authorization. The resolution is based on the War Powers Resolution, which mandates congressional oversight of military deployments. It directs the immediate withdrawal of unapproved forces without adding new time limits or conditions.

HCONRES 64: To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.

HCONRES 64 is a congressional resolution directing the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any hostilities against Venezuela that lack explicit congressional authorization. It applies to ongoing military operations in Venezuela not approved by Congress through a declaration of war or specific law authorizing force. The resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), requiring the removal of troops within the timeframe specified by that law. This bill does not affect military actions already authorized by Congress but mandates the end of unapproved operations.

HRES 888: Censuring and condemning Delegate Stacey Plaskett and removing her from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for conduct that reflects discreditably on the House of Representatives for colluding with convicted felony sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing.

HRES 888 is a proposed resolution to formally censure and condemn Delegate Stacey Plaskett for coordinating with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, during a February 2019 congressional hearing. The resolution claims Plaskett received real-time text messages from Epstein with instructions on her questioning during the hearing. If passed, the resolution would remove Plaskett from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and direct the Committee on Ethics to investigate her ties to Epstein. This action directly affects Plaskett, the Delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, and addresses alleged misconduct during official congressional proceedings.

SJRES 12: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".

This joint resolution (SJRES 12) seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that established procedures for a "Waste Emissions Charge" affecting petroleum and natural gas systems. Specifically, it targets the EPA's November 2024 rule (89 Fed. Reg. 91094) which outlined compliance methods like netting and exemptions for emissions charges. If passed, the resolution would formally disapprove the rule under federal law (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code), preventing it from taking effect. The bill directly affects the oil and gas industry by removing a specific regulatory framework for emissions reporting and fees. This is a procedural disapproval measure, not a new policy.

HRES 1344: Finding that Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States, is in contempt of the House of Representatives for disobeying a certain subpoena.

This resolution (HRES 1344) formally declares Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of the House of Representatives for failing to produce subpoenaed materials related to the Special Counsel's investigation of President Biden's handling of classified documents. It specifically cites his refusal to turn over "audio tapes" requested by the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on February 27, 2024. The resolution mandates that the Speaker impose a daily $10,000 fine on Garland (payable from his personal funds, not taxpayer money) until he complies with the subpoena. As a procedural resolution - not a law - it addresses a specific dispute over congressional oversight authority, not policy changes.

SJRES 57: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Treasury relating to "Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds".

Senate Joint Resolution 57 seeks congressional disapproval of a Treasury Department rule that set guidelines for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, a program distributing over $350 billion to state and local governments to address pandemic-related economic impacts. The rule, published in November 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 80584), outlined specific requirements for fund usage. If enacted, this resolution would nullify the rule, preventing it from taking effect and requiring the Treasury to revert to prior administrative guidelines for distributing the funds. The resolution directly affects how the Treasury manages the program and how states and localities access pandemic recovery funds.

S 4072: A bill to prohibit the use of funds to implement, administer, or enforce certain rules of the Environmental Protection Agency.

This bill prohibits federal funding for implementing, administering, or enforcing specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) vehicle emissions rules. It directly affects the EPA's ability to enforce the proposed and final "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles" rules. The key mechanism blocks all fiscal year 2024 funds from being used for these particular rules or any substantially similar future rules. The bill does not alter the rules themselves but prevents their enforcement through funding restrictions.

HR 7217: Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

This bill appropriates over $15 billion in supplemental funding for U.S. security assistance to Israel following attacks in Israel. It includes specific allocations such as $5.2 billion for Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Iron Beam defense systems, as well as funds for military personnel, operations, and equipment across all branches of the military. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to submit regular reports to Congress detailing security assistance provided to Israel and designates all funding as "emergency requirements" under federal law. This funding directly supports U.S. security assistance programs with Israel to respond to regional security threats.
