Summary
The House rejected a resolution to consider H.R. 8035 on a mixed vote, failing to set the terms for debating the FISA extension bill.
Analysis
The House failed to agree to a resolution that would have set the terms for considering H.R. 8035, a bill to extend certain authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The measure was rejected on a mixed vote, falling short of the simple majority required for adoption. Because the resolution failed, the chamber did not proceed to the scheduled debate or floor consideration of the underlying legislation at that time.
Implications
The failure of this resolution prevents the House from proceeding with the planned consideration of H.R. 8035 under the terms of the proposed rule. Because the resolution failed on a mixed vote, the underlying legislation regarding FISA authorities cannot be debated or voted upon until a new procedural framework is approved. Further action on the extension of these authorities is stalled until the House leadership determines an alternative path forward.
