This resolution invoked the War Powers Act of 1973 — a law passed after Vietnam specifically to prevent presidents from taking the country to war without Congress's approval. It was introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R) — a rare bipartisan pairing — after President Trump authorized military strikes on Iran, including attacks on nuclear facilities, without a formal congressional declaration of war. Six U.S. service members were killed in a retaliatory drone strike in Kuwait. The resolution would have required Trump to halt further military action unless Congress formally authorized it. It failed 212–219, with four Democrats voting against it and only two Republicans voting for it. A YEA vote meant: Congress, not the President, decides when we go to war. A NAY vote meant: the President has the authority to continue without asking.

PassedFiscal Policy1/30/2025

This bill was introduced after President Biden delayed a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel, citing concerns about their potential use in a densely populated area of Rafah, Gaza. The bill would have prohibited any federal funds from being used to pause, withhold, or cancel weapons deliveries to Israel — essentially stripping the President's ability to use arms transfers as diplomatic leverage. It would also have blocked the salaries of any Defense Department or State Department employees involved in delaying those deliveries. Supporters argued the U.S. should honor its commitments to an ally without conditions. Opponents argued Congress should not remove the executive branch's ability to apply pressure on a foreign government's military conduct. A NAY vote meant siding with the President's authority to pause weapons if he judged it necessary.

April 2024 National Security Package

A four-bill legislative package providing aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, along with additional national security measures including a potential TikTok ban.

This included $3.3 billion for submarine infrastructure and development, $1.9 billion to replenish U.S. weapons provided to Taiwan and other regional allies, and $2 billion in Foreign Military Financing for Taiwan and other allies countering Chinese aggression. The bill also provided replacements or reimbursements for defense articles and services that the Department of Defense had already provided to Taiwan and countries that had supported Taiwan. Additionally, it included $250 million to the World Bank's International Development Association to provide rapid financing and grants to the poorest countries experiencing crises. A NAY vote meant opposing emergency funding to reinforce U.S. military presence and arm allies in the Indo-Pacific region, primarily in response to Chinese aggression toward Taiwan.

PassedForeign Aid4/20/2024

This included about $50.7 billion for defense and nuclear protection, $9.6 billion for economic support and diplomacy, and $481 million for refugee assistance for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict. More specifically: the bill provided over $7.8 billion in Economic Support Funds and nearly $1.6 billion in Foreign Military Financing for Ukraine and impacted countries, and increased the President's drawdown authority for Ukraine from $100 million to $7.8 billion. It also allowed for the cancellation of up to 50% of Ukraine's debt related to the economic assistance provided under the bill after November 2024, subject to congressional approval. A NAY vote meant opposing emergency military and economic assistance to Ukraine during its ongoing war with Russia.

PassedForeign Aid4/20/2024

This was a large foreign aid package that bundled together emergency funding for multiple countries and crises. It included $26.4 billion for Israel's military defense, including procurement of Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Iron Beam missile defense systems, as well as weapons replenishment. The same bill also included aid for Ukraine's defense against Russia, security assistance for Taiwan, and humanitarian relief for civilians in Gaza. Because it combined all of these priorities into one package, members who supported Ukraine aid or Gaza humanitarian relief had to accept the Israel military funding as part of the same vote — and vice versa. Supporters called it a necessary compromise given divided government. Critics on the left argued that bundling doesn't change the material outcome of sending weapons to Israel during an active military campaign in Gaza.

PassedForeign Aid4/20/2024

This bill was voted on the same day as H.R. 8034, H.R. 8035, and H.R. 8036 as part of the same legislative package. Unlike those three bills, H.R. 8038 did not appropriate money. Instead, it was a policy and sanctions bill covering several unrelated topics under one vote. It imposed sanctions on individuals and foreign governments involved in fentanyl trafficking, Iranian oil exports, Iranian missile programs, and support for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It authorized the President to seize certain Russian sovereign assets to fund reconstruction efforts in Ukraine. It required ByteDance — the China-based parent company of TikTok — to sell the platform to a non-Chinese owner or face a ban in the United States. It also prohibited data brokers from transferring sensitive personal data of U.S. individuals to foreign adversary countries. A NAY vote meant opposing a package of sanctions targeting Iran, Russia, and Hamas, as well as the requirement for ByteDance to divest from TikTok.

PassedNational Security4/20/2024

Strengthened checks on presidential power — limits emergency declarations, requires disclosure of foreign government contacts, and protects inspectors general and whistleblowers from retaliation.
