Legislative Activity

The Make Education Great Again Act aims to return control over education policy from the federal government back to parents, states, and local communities. It directs the Secretary of Education to reduce federal red tape and actively promote school choice options like vouchers and charter schools. The bill explicitly ensures that federal authority will not mandate curriculum, testing, or policy, while preserving parental rights and homeschooling freedom.

This resolution formally initiates impeachment proceedings against U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang for alleged "high crimes and misdemeanors." The House accuses the judge of overstepping executive authority by issuing a court order that allegedly compromised national security interests related to USAID operations. This action transfers the case to the Senate for trial regarding the judge's removal from office.

The **Saving Privacy Act** is a comprehensive bill designed to significantly reform financial privacy protections and limit government data collection across several fronts. It restricts government access to bank records, dismantles the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) system, and prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a retail Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Furthermore, the Act strengthens penalties for privacy violations, rolls back IRS reporting thresholds for payment processors, and prevents federal agencies from restricting the personal use of privately held virtual currencies.

This resolution addresses conduct unbecoming of a House Representative, specifically regarding events on March 6, 2025. It mandates the removal of any House members who disobeyed the Speaker's order to leave the Well of the House on March 6, 2025, from all standing committee assignments for the remainder of the 119th Congress. The Sergeant at Arms is tasked with identifying the relevant members and submitting the list to the Speaker for action.

The "Stop Fentanyl Money Laundering Act of 2025" aims to combat fentanyl and narcotics trafficking by enhancing financial institutions' ability to detect and report money laundering activities. It authorizes the Treasury Secretary to impose special measures against financial institutions involved in illicit fentanyl financing, mandates updated advisories on identifying Chinese professional money laundering networks, and requires guidance for reporting suspicious transactions linked to transnational criminal organizations involved in narcotics trafficking. The Act also calls for a comprehensive report on lessons learned from past drug crises to inform strategies for addressing the opioid crisis.

This bill impeaches Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for high crimes and misdemeanors. The impeachment is based on Judge Ali's actions regarding a temporary restraining order against the pausing of funds from Executive Order 14169. The bill claims Judge Ali marginalized the President's authority and fiduciary duty, ordering immediate fund disbursement without considering the history of foreign assistance issues through USAID. It concludes that Judge Ali's actions lack intellectual honesty and integrity, deeming him unfit for office and recommending removal.

The "No Alipay Act of 2025" prohibits all financial transactions between Alipay and any person in the United States. This includes using any apps or payment services run by Alipay. It defines "United States person" and "financial transaction" to clarify the scope of the prohibition. The goal of the bill is to block Alipay from operating within the U.S.

This resolution impeaches Judge John Deacon Bates of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for allegedly ordering federal agencies to restore LGBTQI content on government websites, which is claimed to violate Executive Order 14168. It asserts that Judge Bates' actions demonstrate a lack of integrity, making him unfit for his judicial office. The House of Representatives would present an article of impeachment to the Senate.

The "No CBDC Act" prohibits the Federal Reserve and related entities from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) directly to individuals. It also restricts these entities from offering related services or maintaining accounts for individuals related to a CBDC. Additionally, Federal Reserve banks are barred from holding U.S. government-issued digital currencies as assets or using them to meet reserve requirements.

The "Protecting the Second Amendment in Financial Services Act" prevents banks and credit card companies from using specific merchant codes that would identify businesses selling firearms or ammunition. This ensures that financial institutions cannot track or discriminate against legal firearm-related transactions.

The "End of GSE Conservatorship Preparation Act of 2025" mandates the Secretary of the Treasury to report to Congress on the status of proposals related to ending the conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Within 30 days of enactment, the Treasury must report on the completion status of proposals outlined in the January 14, 2021 agreements. If incomplete, the latest drafts must be included, and the Secretary is required to finalize and submit these proposals within 90 days of the Act's enactment.

The "Make Gaza Great Again Act" aims to ensure cooperation from Middle Eastern countries (excluding Israel) in providing humanitarian entry to Palestinians from Gaza. It authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals who refuse to grant such entry, including blocking their assets and denying them entry into the U.S. The bill also allows the President to suspend a country's status as a major non-NATO ally and halt foreign assistance if they refuse to allow humanitarian entry to Palestinians from Gaza.

The BOWSER Act repeals the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which currently grants a degree of self-governance to the District of Columbia. This repeal would take effect one year after the enactment of the BOWSER Act. Effectively, this would end the current form of local government in DC.

The "Restoring American Sovereignty Act" allows the President to use previously paused funds to deport illegal aliens from the United States. This overrides any conflicting laws that may be in place.

The "End the Deep State Act" aims to create a new category of federal employees ("Schedule PolicyCareer") who are in confidential, policy-related roles, ensuring they can be hired and retained based on their alignment with the President's policies. It directs agencies to review positions and reclassify suitable roles under this new schedule, while also revoking a prior Executive Order that limited the ability to remove employees. The Act seeks to make federal employees more accountable to the President and ensure the President can depend on federal employees in policy-related roles. This bill would allow for the firing of federal employees who do not implement administration policies to the best of their ability, in accordance with their constitutional oath.

This proposed constitutional amendment limits the number of times a person can be elected President to a maximum of three terms.

The "Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025" seeks to prohibit chemical abortions by imposing imprisonment and/or fines on anyone who prescribes, dispenses, distributes, or sells drugs to cause an abortion, with exceptions only for contraceptives, miscarriage treatment, or to save a woman's life. This act renames chapter 74 of title 18, United States Code, to "Abortion crimes." It defines key terms such as "abortion," "pregnancy," and "unborn child" and clarifies that women undergoing chemical abortions will not be prosecuted under this section.

The "Declaration of Energy Independence Act" amends the Mineral Leasing Act to lower royalty and rental rates for onshore oil and gas leases, aiming to encourage domestic energy production.

The act also includes provisions for extending leases on low-production mineral estates and reducing royalty payments under certain conditions.

The HONDURAS Act allows the President to suspend all aid to Honduras if the country refuses to host U.S. military and civilian personnel at Soto Cano Air Base. This includes aid provided under the 1954 military assistance agreement and any subsequent amendments.

The "Make Greenland Great Again Act" authorizes the President to negotiate with Denmark for the acquisition of Greenland, beginning January 20, 2025.
