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.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Oct 10, 2025
This resolution requires the House of Representatives to convene and hold recorded quorum calls during a government shutdown. It also limits recesses and adjournments during a government shutdown.
Under the resolution, a government shutdown occurs when there is a lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department as a result of a failure to enact a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution.
The resolution requires the House to convene on each day on which a government shutdown is in effect unless a recess or adjournment is permitted. Under the resolution, such a recess or adjournment is only permitted if
- the House has met for each of the first five consecutive calendar days on which the government shutdown is in effect,
- the proposed period of adjournment or recess does not last for more than two consecutive calendar days, and
- the House has met for at least five consecutive calendar days since the expiration of the most recent period of adjournment or recess.
The resolution also requires the House to hold at least one recorded quorum call on each day that the House is in session during a government shutdown.
Members of the House who fail to record their presence during a quorum call on two or more consecutive days must be fined $500 for a first offense and $2,500 for any subsequent offense unless the failure is due to an illness. A Member may not use official or campaign funds to pay the fine.
