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.

This removes that tax from those estates. - Donors and high‑net‑worth individuals would still face a gift tax, but under a tiered schedule from 18% to 35% and a $10 million lifetime exemption that is indexed for inflation after 2011. - Generation‑skipping transfers made on or after enactment would not be subject to the GST tax. Qualified domestic trusts for surviving spouses of decedents who died before enactment would follow transitional rules, including changed treatment of distributions after a 10‑year period beginning on the enactment date.

Stops payment systems from assigning merchant codes that single out firearms sellers. This bill would prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring or assigning merchant category codes that identify a retailer as selling firearms, ammunition, accessories, or firearm components. - Firearms retailers: Businesses could not be assigned MCCs that are used only or primarily for firearms retailers, which limits one way transactions could be labeled. - Payment card networks and covered entities: Networks and processors would be barred from requiring merchants to use or from assigning MCCs that identify a business as a firearms retailer. - Federal enforcement and oversight: The Attorney General would set up a complaint process within 90 days after enactment, investigate complaints, demand remediation within 30 days, and may seek federal injunctions.

HR979 — AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025
This bill would require AM broadcast capability to be installed as standard equipment in passenger motor vehicles. It focuses on driver-accessible AM reception, allows digital AM audio to count for compliance, and links vehicle AM capability to emergency alerting through IPAWS. - Drivers and households: Built-in, driver-accessible AM reception would make it easier for people to get local AM stations and emergency alerts from their vehicles. The bill allows devices that receive digital AM to meet the requirement. - Vehicle manufacturers: The Department of Transportation would need to issue a rule within 1 year, with a general compliance deadline no later than 2 years after the rule is issued.

The bill mandates interim labels and pricing protections for cars without AM, authorizes civil penalties and DOJ injunctions for violations, requires a GAO study and a congressional briefing within 1 year, and includes an 8-year sunset for the authority.
