H.R.es107 - H. RES. 107 (EH) - Engrossed in House (119th Congress)
Summary
H. Res. 107 concerns the election of Mr. Moylan to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. He will rank immediately after Mr. Rulli. This resolution was engrossed in the House of Representatives on February 5, 2025.
The resolution itself is a procedural matter within the House.
It does not directly create new laws or policies but rather organizes the internal structure of the House of Representatives.
Expected Effects
The immediate effect is to fill a position on the Committee on Education and Workforce. This allows the committee to proceed with its work, including considering and shaping legislation related to education and labor.
The longer-term effect depends on Mr. Moylan's contributions to the committee and the legislation that the committee ultimately produces.
His presence will influence the committee's decisions.
Potential Benefits
- Fills a vacant position on the House Committee on Education and Workforce, enabling the committee to function more effectively.
- Allows the committee to address important issues related to education and labor.
- Ensures representation of a specific viewpoint or constituency on the committee (depending on Mr. Moylan's background and priorities).
- May lead to more informed and balanced legislative outcomes due to the addition of a new member.
- Contributes to the overall functioning of the House of Representatives.
Potential Disadvantages
- The impact is largely dependent on the individual's (Mr. Moylan's) performance and contributions, which are unknown at this point.
- There are no immediate or direct disadvantages to the American people.
- The resolution itself is a procedural matter and does not create any new burdens or restrictions.
- Potential for partisan gridlock within the committee if members hold strongly opposing views.
- Opportunity cost: another member could have been selected, potentially bringing different expertise or perspectives.
Constitutional Alignment
The resolution aligns with Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution, which grants the House of Representatives the power to choose its members and organize its internal proceedings. The Constitution does not specify how committee assignments should be made, leaving this to the discretion of the House.
There is nothing in the resolution that appears to contradict any specific provision of the Constitution.
It is a routine matter of internal governance within the legislative branch.
