Authorizing the Speaker of the House of Representatives to initiate or intervene in civil actions on behalf of the House of Representatives regarding section 213 of title II of division C of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026.

HRES 892 authorizes the Speaker of the House to initiate or join civil lawsuits challenging whether section 213 of the 2026 appropriations act violates the 27th Amendment, which prohibits changes to congressional pay before the next election. The resolution specifically addresses provisions in the act that provide financial awards to Senators, with the House arguing these could constitute an unconstitutional pay change. If courts rule section 213 unconstitutional, the resolution allows the House to demand the Senate reimburse all legal costs incurred during the litigation. This is a procedural resolution focused on legal strategy, not policy changes.
