    This was a committee vote. The bill now must advance to the floor, pass a vote there, then go through the same process in the Senate.

    Many bills are passed out of committee but are never given an actual vote.

      Especially in the least productive congress in US history, the odds of any actual vote are low.

        Technically, while that might have been true at the end of 2023, the US House of Representatives of the 118th congress have voted 796 times with 126 items passed, according to Govtrack.us with at least ten vetoes by the POTUS.

        So not really the worst by any measure.

          But also not functional by modern measures.

            Yeah for sure I’d love to see more progress. I’m glad at least the House Republicans have taken a very brief break from impeaching their own speaker on repeat.

              Oh that’s coming. He had the audacity to applaud Biden. His days are numbered.
