H.Res. 635 · 113th Congress

Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Resolution

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 113th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that taxpayers shall be given the benefit of the doubt with regard to their justification for not producing critical documentation until the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) produces all documentation demanded by the House or produces acceptable justification for not doing so.
