H.Con.Res 24 Expressing the sense of Congress that the report of Special Counsel Mueller should be made available to the public and to Congress YES For the sake of transparency, I believe Special Counsel Mueller’s findings should be made publicly available for all Americans to see.

 

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.
