How politicians on Foreign Affairs Committee dealt with bills on Sept. 14

The Foreign Affairs Committee handled H.Res.1351 bill on Sept. 14, according to the US Congress.

Bill H.Res.1351 titled “Condemning Azerbaijan's unprovoked military attack on Armenia”. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Adam Schiff with Gus Bilirakis, Frank Pallone, Jackie Speier, David Valadao as cosponsors.

The Foreign Affairs 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.
