H.Res. 885 · 115th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding our national debt.

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 115th 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: (1) the national debt is rising unsustainably and needs to urgently be addressed; and (2) each Member of the House should introduce and advocate for legislation to reduce spending by $100 million per year, aside from annual appropriations bills.
