House Rules Committee Considers National Security Supplemental Legislation
House Session - January 9, 2020

In a vote of 224-194, the House passed a war powers resolution seeking to limit the Trump administration's military action against Iran without first getting congressional approval. All but 10 Democrats voted in favor of the measure as did Representative Amash (I-MI) and three Republicans, Representatives Matt Gaetz (FL), Thomas Massie (KY), Francis Rooney (FL). Members also continued work on the PFAS Action Act of 2019, dealing with Environmental Protection Agency designation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as hazardous, and they passed a suspension bill.
