Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that names and elects specific Members to serve as chairs of standing House committees. It is an internal organizational action of the House of Representatives that assigns committee leadership. It does not create public law and only governs the House's own operations.
Simple resolutions are acted on by the House alone, are not sent to the President, and do not have the force of law outside the House. This type of resolution takes effect upon adoption by the House and governs only House internal matters.
