On Agreeing to the Amendment
On Agreeing to the Amendment
This was a standard amendment to H.R. 1048, the DETERRENT Act, considered in the House on March 27, 2025. The amendment proposed a targeted change to the bill's text rather than replacing it entirely. The amendment failed decisively, receiving only 92 votes in favor and 321 votes against. The vote showed unusual bipartisan opposition. All 201 Democrats voted against the amendment, while 120 Republicans also opposed it. Only 92 Republicans supported the amendment, meaning it lacked majority support from either party. This bipartisan rejection suggests the proposed change faced significant concerns across the political spectrum. With the amendment defeated, the House continues consideration of H.R. 1048 in its original form. The bill remains on the floor for further debate and potential votes on other amendments or final passage. The strong bipartisan opposition indicates the amendment's language was not acceptable to a broad coalition of House members.
