This bill renames the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Lubbock, Texas, to the "General Bernie Mittemeyer VA Clinic". All official references to the clinic will reflect this new name.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a member of Congress can serve. Representatives would be limited to 3 terms and Senators to 2 terms, with specific rules for partial terms. Terms served before the amendment's ratification would not be counted. The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years to be valid.

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2025 aims to increase Congressional oversight of federal regulations by requiring Congressional approval for any "major rule" (defined as having an economic impact of at least $100 million) before it can take effect. The Act also mandates federal agencies to publish detailed information supporting a rule and requires the Comptroller General to report on each major rule. It also directs the Comptroller General to study and determine the number of rules in effect, the number of major rules in effect, and the total estimated economic cost of all these rules and submit a report to Congress with the study's findings within one year of the Act's enactment.

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 mandates a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve System by the Comptroller General within one year. Following the audit, a detailed report must be submitted to Congress, including findings and recommendations. This act aims to increase transparency and accountability within the Federal Reserve System by repealing audit limitations.

The "Stopping Border Surges Act" aims to reform immigration laws related to unaccompanied alien children and the asylum process. It changes how unaccompanied children and families are processed, focusing on detention standards and eligibility for special immigrant status. The act also modifies asylum procedures, affecting credible fear interviews, application jurisdiction, and penalties for fraud, with the goal of streamlining the system and deterring abuse.

The "Responsible Path to Full Obamacare Repeal Act" repeals both the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, effective October 1, 2025. It aims to reinstate the laws that were in place before these acts were enacted, essentially reversing all changes made by Obamacare.
