House vote #321 · 2025H.Res. 432
Nay

Move forward with nullifying the federal labor-relations executive order

AI-assisted summary

The proposal concerns nullifying an executive order that excludes specified federal agencies from requirements for federal employee organizing, collective bargaining, and related management obligations. The vote was recorded as a motion to discharge, which concerns bringing a proposal out of committee; it passed. The supplied document, however, describes a resolution providing for consideration of H.R. 2550, rather than clearly identifying what was being discharged.

Context: The vote question says “On Motion to Discharge,” but the document and dated background describe a resolution providing for consideration of H.R. 2550. The records do not resolve this mismatch, so the exact proposal being discharged is unclear.

House passed bill to disinter Fernando Cota’s remains

AI-assisted summary

The bill concerns requiring the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter Fernando V. Cota’s remains from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas. The House passed the bill on this vote. The supplied background instead describes the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act and does not clarify the full text of the measure voted on.

Context: The supplied background describes the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act rather than the measure named in the vote title, so the full text and any amendments cannot be confirmed from these records.
