HRES-918 : Still Just a Bill


This resolution directs specified committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist to impeach President Biden. The resolution also adopts H. Res. 917, which, related to the inquiry, authorizes initiation of or intervention in certain judicial proceedings by the committees and continues the committees' subpoena authority.

Specifically, the Committees on Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and the Judiciary must continue their investigations, as set forth in the memorandum issued by the chairs of such committees entitled Impeachment Inquiry, dated September 27, 2023.

The resolution also sets forth additional committee authorities for conducting proceedings related to the inquiry.
