Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Create 13-member House select committee

This resolution would create a 13-member House Select Committee to investigate claims about the President's health. The Speaker would appoint members, include 5 appointed after consulting the minority leader, and name the chair. Vacancies would be filled the same way. The committee would end 30 days after filing its final report. Two members could take testimony and one-third could act for most business. Staff rules would follow the Committee on House Administration, and agencies could detail staff on a nonreimbursable basis. The Speaker must approve outside consultants.

Investigate President's health claims

This resolution would authorize the Select Committee to investigate many topics about the President's health and related actions. Topics would include any cognitive or physical decline, a possible cancer diagnosis, whether information was concealed, roles of others, media narratives, use of an autopen, Special Counsel Hur's tapes, and classified documents handling. The committee could issue interim reports. All reports and any policy recommendations or legislative proposals would be due to relevant standing committees by December 31, 2025, and legislative proposals must be sent within 30 days after adoption by the Select Committee.

No lawmaking power for committee

This resolution would say the Select Committee could not act on any bill or resolution. Its only authority would be to investigate, report, make policy recommendations, and submit legislative proposals to standing committees. The committee could hold public hearings related to its investigative work.

Subpoena power and classified access

This resolution would let the Select Committee access certain intelligence sources and require standard classified handling rules. The chair could issue subpoenas, compel written answers, and order depositions after consulting the ranking minority member. Subpoenas may be signed by the chair or a designee. The chair could allow longer questioning by members or staff and pause proceedings for record votes then resume them.
