This resolution would set the ground rules for how the House of Representatives debates and votes on four specific bills. These bills cover topics like veterans' access to services, modernizing firearms laws, rules for undersea internet cables, and securing critical energy supplies. It would also make it easier for the House to quickly consider temporary government funding bills for a short time.

This bill, called the PAUSE Act, would stop most new visas and green cards from being issued until several big changes are made to immigration laws. It would also end programs like the Diversity Visa Lottery and Optional Practical Training for international students, and make it much harder for employers to hire H-1B workers. If signed into law, these changes would take effect immediately, and many existing applications would be canceled.

This bill would stop the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other groups linked to terrorism from being tax-exempt. They would lose special tax breaks, impacting their money in future years.

A resolution in the House of Representatives would move to impeach Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The resolution claims she committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" and violated the "good behavior" standard required for judges. This action could lead to her removal from office if the Senate agrees.

This bill would stop people from entering the U.S. if they are found to follow Sharia law. It would also let the government remove people already in the U.S. who are found to follow Sharia law. Right now, U.S. immigration law does not stop entry or require removal just for following Sharia law.

This bill would ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading most individual stocks, commodities, or futures. Currently, these individuals can trade stocks, but this bill would require them to sell existing investments within 90 to 180 days and prevent new purchases.

This bill would stop all federal money from being used for the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) program. The DED program currently allows certain people from specific countries to temporarily stay and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. If this bill becomes law, the program would effectively end, affecting those who rely on its protections.

This bill would move the power to grant or end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from the Department of Homeland Security to Congress. It would also make people without a lawful immigration status unable to get TPS. This changes who can seek temporary protection in the U.S.

Members of Congress would get a special online link to see up-to-the-minute details on how the government spends money. This would include payments made to individual people who get federal help and to federal employees. This change would give Congress more detailed information about these payments.
