PASSED

221-189

H.R. 3621 Comprehensive CREDIT Act of 2020 NO While Republicans support measures to increase access to affordable consumer credit and the accuracy of consumer credit information, this bill would undermine the credit reporting system and make it more difficult and expensive for lenders to analyze the credit risk of borrowers.  As a result, Americans will find that credit will be less accessible, or not accessible at all, and ultimately more expensive.

PASSED

228-175

House Amendment to Senate Amendment on H.R. 550 No War Against Iran Act   NO These amendments dangerously limit the President’s ability to respond to threats against the US in a timely manner. By inserting these bills as an amendment to a Congressional Gold Medal, instead of considering them on their own merits, the Majority makes a mockery of the process.

PASSED

236-166

House Amendment to Senate Amendment on H.R. 550 To repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002   NO These amendments dangerously limit the President’s ability to respond to threats against the US in a timely manner. By inserting these bills as an amendment to a Congressional Gold Medal, instead of considering them on their own merits, the Majority makes a mockery of the process. 

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
