Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to temporarily fill vacancies in the House of Representatives to further the continuity of Congress.

HJRES 118 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring House Representatives to submit a list of at least five qualified backup candidates before taking office. If a Representative dies, the state governor must select one from that list within 10 days, and the House Speaker immediately fills the vacancy. The temporary appointee serves until a special election is held to permanently fill the seat. This process aims to maintain House operations without delays during vacancies.
