Bill H.R.7689 titled “United States Secret Service Mission Improvement and Realignment Act of 2022” was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Roger Williams with David Kustoff as cosponsor.
Bill H.Res.1091 titled “Calling for the immediate resignation of Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Vicky Hartzler with Andy Biggs, Dan Bishop, Andrew Clyde, Warren Davidson, Jeff Duncan, Bob Gibbs, Yvette Herrell, Lisa Mcclain, Mary Miller, John Rose as cosponsors.
The Homeland Security Committee moves forward in some way on one bill per day, taking one action on average per day.
Most bills have a hearing where those involved explain why they are for or against the bill. Roughly 8,000 bills are addressed by committees each year but only about 800 make it to the floor of Congress, according to ushistory.org.
A 2019 report from the Brookings Institute argued committees aren’t capable of delving fully into the issues they address and are forced to rely on lobbyists.
