The House narrowly passed this resolution with a 211-209 vote, split almost entirely along party lines.
This was a vote on a simple resolution, a type of measure used by the House of Representatives to express its formal opinion or to manage internal chamber matters. Unlike a bill, a simple resolution does not have the force of law and does not require the signature of the President or approval from the Senate. In the U.S. Congress, this type of vote is a procedural step to finalize the House's position on the matter at hand. It requires a simple majority of those present and voting to pass. Because the resolution only affects the House, this vote serves as the final decision on the proposal. The measure passed by a very thin margin of just two votes. Republicans overwhelmingly supported the resolution, while Democrats almost entirely opposed it. With this approval, the House has officially adopted the resolution, and no further action is expected from other branches of government.
The adoption is the final legislative step. The House will now implement any internal changes or transmit the official statement of the resolution as required.
Democrats. The Democratic caucus was almost entirely opposed to the resolution, with 209 members voting 'nay' and only two voting 'yea'.
Republicans. The Republican caucus voted unanimously in favor of the resolution with 213 members supporting it.
