Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for members of the Armed Forces who fight terrorism…
Full title
Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for members of the Armed Forces who fight terrorism and the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Government should pay for the legal expenses of members of the Armed Forces who are accused of committing crimes related to the treatment of a suspected terrorist, if the member is acquitted or the charges are dropped.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
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 111th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
