House Democrats mark 200 days in the majority, touting legislation that they've passed from their agenda while foreshadowing the pressure they intend to put on Republicans through the six-week August recess.
House Democrats marked 200 days in the majority on Thursday morning, touting legislation that they've passed from their agenda while foreshadowing the pressure they intend to put on Republicans through the six-week August recess.
Reps. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, Lauren Underwood of Illinois and Katie Hill of California were among the freshmen Democrats who attended. The lawmakers kept to script and did not weigh in deeply on impeachment. Instead, they celebrated their"For the People" agenda, highlighted by H.R.
So far, since the new Democratic majority took control of the House on Jan. 3, dividing political power on Capitol Hill, just 39 bills have been sent to the Oval Office and only 29 of them have been enacted into law. Of the 29 enacted into law, just 18 have originated in the lower chamber. The president has vetoed five measures.
Congress is expected to kick off its recess following passage later Thursday of the debt limit spending agreement with President Donald Trump.
