The House voted 216–210 to adopt a resolution. The vote fell along strict party lines, with Republicans supporting the measure and Democrats opposing it.
This vote was to approve a 'simple resolution' in the House of Representatives. This type of measure is used to express the official opinion of the House or to change internal rules. Unlike a bill, it does not have the force of law and does not require approval from the Senate or the President. This was a standard procedural vote where a simple majority was needed for passage. Because the final tally was very close (216 to 210), nearly every member of the majority party had to be present and in agreement for the resolution to succeed. With this successful vote, the resolution is now officially adopted by the House. No further action is required from other branches of government. The outcome reflects a unified Republican front against a unified Democratic opposition.
The process is complete for this measure; as a simple resolution, it does not move to the Senate or the White House.
Democrats. The Democratic caucus voted unanimously against the resolution.
Republicans. The Republican caucus voted nearly unanimously in favor, providing the votes necessary for passage.
