Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Maddy summaryHRES 547 is a resolution seeking to expunge the January 13, 2021, impeachment resolution against former President Donald Trump from the U.S. House of Representatives' official records. It argues the impeachment was based on incomplete facts, lacked due process (including no hearings or opportunity for the President to respond), and was rushed, with the Senate trial occurring after Trump left office. This procedural resolution does not change legal status or current law but aims to remove the impeachment from the House's historical record.

Maddy summaryHR 4245, the "Enforce the Caps Act," sets specific annual spending limits for discretionary federal programs from fiscal years 2026 through 2029. It establishes new budget authority caps at $1.622 trillion for 2026, increasing to $1.671 trillion for 2029. The bill directly affects how Congress allocates funds for non-mandatory programs like education, transportation, and defense by legally binding these spending levels. This is a procedural adjustment to existing budget control law, not a new policy affecting specific groups or creating new programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill increases criminal penalties for non-citizens who reenter the U.S. after being deported or excluded. It specifically targets individuals with prior convictions for drug offenses, violent crimes, or multiple prior removals, imposing stricter fines and longer prison terms. For example, those convicted of an aggravated felony or two prior illegal reentries face mandatory minimum sentences of 5 years in prison, up to 20 years. The law also expands penalties for those who reenter without Homeland Security's permission after being removed under certain provisions.

Maddy summaryHR 277 would require Congress to approve major federal regulations before they take effect. Major rules are defined as those with significant economic impact ($100 million+ annually), major cost increases for consumers or industries, or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, or innovation. Agencies must submit detailed information about these rules to Congress, including cost-benefit analyses, before they can take effect. Congress would have 70 session days to approve the rule with a joint resolution; if they don't act within that timeframe, the rule would not take effect. This would increase congressional oversight of federal regulations and require more detailed information about proposed rules before they become law.

SEC Stabilization Act of 2023 This bill expands the composition of the Securities and Exchange Commission from five commissioners to six, extends the term of the commissioners from five years to six, and creates an executive director position. If appointing two commissioners whose terms end on the same date, the President is prohibited from appointing individuals from the same political party.

Maddy summaryHRES 477 is a House resolution (not a bill) authorizing the Judiciary Committee to investigate whether grounds exist for impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. The resolution directs the committee to examine potential impeachment grounds, including the authority to subpoena witnesses and documents. This procedural measure does not initiate impeachment but allows the committee to gather information for a potential future impeachment vote. It directly affects Secretary Mayorkas and the House's constitutional impeachment process.

Maddy summaryHR 3901, the Agency Subpoena Compliance Act, requires federal agencies to comply with congressional subpoenas or face potential funding reductions. It mandates the President to annually report to Congress on agency subpoena compliance, triggering committee hearings to review each case. If an agency ignores a valid subpoena, the committees may propose a 0.5% funding cut in the next year's budget for each ignored subpoena. Agencies failing to submit the required report on time risk a 2% annual budget cut for each week of delay. This bill directly affects all federal agencies covered by annual budget bills.

This resolution impeaches Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors for ceasing construction of a border wall and for other activities relating to immigration and the southern border.

This resolution requires the Clerk of the House of Representatives to place in the House Chamber a real-time display of the outstanding national debt.

Maddy summaryHRES 448 is a non-binding House resolution honoring Daniel Penny of West Islip, New York, for intervening during a subway incident on May 1, 2023. It recognizes Penny for apprehending Jordan Neely, who was threatening passengers on an F Train in Manhattan, including allegedly throwing trash and making violent threats. The resolution states Penny acted "with disregard for his personal well-being" to protect fellow commuters. It specifically rejects claims labeling Penny a "White supremacist" or "vigilante," calling such descriptions "without basis in fact." As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect and solely serves to publicly commend Penny's actions.
