Sept. 14: bills handled by Armed Services Committee

The Armed Services Committee handled H.Res.1349 bill on Sept. 14, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.Res.1349 titled “Congratulating the United States Air Force on the occasion of its 75th anniversary”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. John Garamendi with Kathy Castor, Adam Kinzinger, Michael Turner as cosponsors.

The Armed Services Committee moves forward in some way on one bill 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.
