Research Brief
On Motion to Table
Bill Analysis
HRES 489 is a resolution introduced in the 118th Congress that seeks to censure and condemn Adam Schiff, the Representative for California’s 30th Congressional District. The resolution is primarily a formal expression of disapproval by the House of Representatives regarding Schiff’s actions and statements, particularly those related to the investigation of former President Donald Trump and allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The resolution outlines specific grievances against Schiff, accusing him of misleading the public and misusing his position on the House Intelligence Committee. It asserts that Schiff’s conduct undermines the integrity of the legislative process and erodes public trust in government institutions. The censure serves as a disciplinary measure, though it does not carry any legal penalties or direct consequences beyond the formal rebuke.
The resolution was brought to the floor of the House and underwent a motion to table, which was agreed upon by a vote of 225 in favor and 196 against, with 7 members present but not voting. This action effectively set aside the resolution, preventing further consideration or debate on the matter.
The primary beneficiaries of this resolution are the members of the House who support the censure, as it aligns with their political stance against Schiff and his actions. Conversely, it may be seen as a regulatory measure against Schiff, who is being held accountable for his conduct in office.
Key timelines include the introduction of the resolution and the subsequent vote to table it, which took place during the 118th Congress. The resolution reflects ongoing partisan tensions within Congress and highlights the contentious nature of political discourse in the current legislative environment.
