H.Res. 1399 · 110th Congress

Providing for proceedings during the period from August 1, 2008, through September 4, 2008.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 110th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

Provides that, when the House adjourns pursuant to this resolution on any legislative day between August 1 and September 4, 2008, it shall stand adjourned until 11 a.m. on the third constitutional day thereafter.
