H.Res. 521

Censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of the 30th Congressional District of California

Passed  |  213-209, 6 Present
My Vote  |  YES

Rep. Schiff repeatedly misled the American People during his politically motivated investigation into President Trump’s campaign. The allegations that Schiff pushed have been proven false by numerous investigations and his actions cost the taxpayers $32 million.  Dishonest behavior like this by a high ranking member of Congress must not be allowed to continue without accountability.

Passed  |  221-206

Passed  |  223-201

H. Res. 529

Relating to the resolution (H. Res. 503) impeaching Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors

Passed  |  219-08
My Vote  |  YES

This resolution refers articles of impeachment against President Biden to the House Committees on Homeland Security and Judiciary. This allows President Biden the due process that President Trump was denied when House Democrats – not once, but twice – tried to remove him from office for political reasons, which set a dangerous precedent.

H.R. 3564

Middle Class Borrower Protection Act

Passed  |  230-189
My Vote  |  YES

This bill rolls back changes made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to the fees charged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for a conventional single-family mortgage. These changes would lower interest rates for people with lower credit scores.

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.
