The Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) amendment #163 to the "Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025" prohibits funds from being used to enforce President Biden's Executive Order # 14019, "Promoting Access to Voting". According to the sponsor, the executive order empowers federal agencies to use taxpayer funds to implement or enter into agreements with partisan organizations that conduct voter mobilization activities. On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order rescinding Biden’s EO 14019. Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #6 – Republicans Will Ensure Election Integrity: We will implement measures to secure our Elections, including Voter ID, highly sophisticated paper ballots, proof of Citizenship, and same day Voting. We will not allow the Democrats to give Voting Rights to illegal Aliens. “Every time voter fraud occurs, it cancels out the vote of a lawful citizen and undermines democracy. Can't let that happen.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2024" sponsored by Mark Amodei (R-NV) would help protect mineral production in the U.S. by addressing the Rosemont judicial decision. The ruling in the case could upend projects by prohibiting "ancillary activities" (like processing sites or the storage of waste) on lands without economically viable minerals. This bill sets forth a process to allow mining companies to use, occupy, and conduct operations (e.g., construction of roads and other mining infrastructure activity) on public land regardless of whether a mineral deposit has been discovered on the land. Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking. “We’re ending Joe Biden’s war on beautiful, clean coal once and for all, and we’re going to put the miners back to work!” – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) amendment #91 to the "Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025" reduces the salary of Council on Environmental Quality, CEQ, Chair Brenda Mallory to $1. According to the sponsor, the amendment is in response to the CEQ's implementation of the ''Federal Acquisition Regulation: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate-Related Financial Risk" - which the CEQ did not have rulemaking authority to enact. This rule forces all Federal contractors that do business worth more than $50 million with the Federal Government to disclose scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Furthermore, the rule forces companies to have their climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) which is connected to the New Venture Fund, a left-wing entity funded by George Soros. Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents. We will declassify Government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees. “We are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean, responsive, and accountable. And we are ensuring our laws are enforced fairly.” – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #81 to the "Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025" repeals section 115 of the Clean Air Act. This section gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to impose emission reductions on the States if the administrator finds that American air pollution endangers the public health and welfare of another country. According to the sponsor, "removing the broadly written language in section 115 is the only way to prevent the delegation of nearly unlimited power over State energy sectors to the EPA bureaucrats and removes the ability of international organizations to meddle in our energy sector." Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy. “We will blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, new pipelines, new refineries, new power plants, new electric plants, and reactors of all types.” – President Donald J. Trump

Ensuring an "America First" Energy Agenda by Repealing an EPA Policy that Grants Bureaucrats the Power to Implement Draconian Regulations to Benefit Foreign Nations.

The Kat Cammack (R-FL) amendment #4 to the "Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024" would eliminate all non-military funding in the Ukrainian aid package, amounting to a cut of $10.5 billion from the $61 billion bill. According to the sponsor, "this new spending, $60 billion, is designated as emergency spending, meaning it goes straight to our national debt, a national debt that grows every single second to the tune of $8 billion every single day". Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #1 – The National Interest: Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God. "If you do (give foreign aid), you give it to ’em as a loan — not just a giveaway" – President Donald J. Trump

Cutting $10.5 Billion in Wasteful Non-Military Spending within the Ukraine Aid Bill.

The "Fix Our Forests Act" sponsored by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) contains numerous provisions primarily designed to help reduce wildfires. Some key provisions include improved management of forests on federal land and expedited review of certain forest management projects under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Additionally, the bill provides utility companies greater ability to remove vegetation which may damage powerlines, and also limits the ability of entities (primarily environmental groups) from advancing frivolous litigation. On March 1, 2025, Trump signed an executive order aimed at increasing timber production, streamlining forest projects, and reducing bureaucratic delays—objectives meant to complement and accelerate the aims of the Fix Our Forests Act. Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking. “You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know, the floors of the forest—very important.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) would authorize $1.2 billion in additional federal spending on anti-human trafficking initiatives over the next five years. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) a majority of this spending would be for "foreign assistance to address trafficking overseas" which would be carried out in part by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  In early 2025, the Trump Administration placed nearly 10,000 USAID employees on leave (retaining less than 300) and cancelled nearly 90% of foreign aid programs. Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #1 – The National Interest: Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God.

The "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" sponsored by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) would ban the social media platform TikTok, which is a subsidiary of Chinese-owned company ByteDance Ltd. The bill includes a provision which would allow TikTok to continue to operate if ByteDance sells the application to a company deemed acceptable by the President. According to the sponsor, this measure is necessary given the fact TikTok is owned by the Chinese and the potential for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to collect data on American users. TikTok has become a widely popular in America, with over 170 million monthly users. A TikTok ban across government platforms is reasonable considering national security, but ultimately it should be up to individual Americans to weigh the risks of TikTok and determine their usage - not politicians - absent a much more substantial threat to national security. Upon taking office in 2025, President Trump has signed a multitude of Executive Orders preventing the termination of TikTok. Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #2 – Republicans Will Dismantle Censorship & Protect Free Speech: We will ban the Federal Government from colluding with anyone to censor Lawful Speech, defund institutions engaged in censorship, and hold accountable all bureaucrats involved with illegal censoring. We will protect Free Speech online. “For all those that want to save Tik Tok in America, vote for Trump! The other side is closing it up. But I’m now a big star on TikTok.”  – President Donald J. Trump

The "Abandoned Well Remediation Research and Development Act" sponsored by Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) would expand the size and role of the Department of Energy (DOE) to create a research, development, and demonstration program concerning abandoned oil and gas wells. According to the sponsor, "methane emissions from oil and gas wells - some of which date back as early as the 1850s including orphan wells, remains a significant driver of short-term climate change". In January of 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled "Unleashing American Energy" and instructed federal agencies to pause $4.7?billion in spending on orphaned-well plugging. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy. “Washington bureaucrats should not be managing your state’s resources.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Midnight Rules Relief Act" sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) allows Congress to disapprove multiple regulations under one joint resolution of disapproval if the regulations were submitted for review during the last 60 legislative days of the final year of a President's term. Currently, each joint resolution may disapprove of only one regulation. According to the sponsor, the bill "allows Congress to rein in unelected bureaucrats. Biden's bureaucrats imposed more than $1.34 trillion in regulations in 2024 alone." Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking. “We are cutting regulations at a level that nobody has ever seen before.” – President Donald J. Trump

This resolution introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on February 21, 2023, titled “Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Electric Vehicle Chargers”. This rule temporarily waives the Buy America requirements for steel, iron, manufactured products, and construction materials in electric vehicle (EV) chargers. According to the sponsor “if we’re going to spend $5?billion of taxpayer money to build electric vehicle charging stations for the United States, it should be made by Americans in America using American products.” Chapter 5 – Protect American Workers and Farmers from Unfair Trade – Section #2 – Secure Strategic Independence from China: Republicans will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation status, phase out imports of essential goods, and stop China from buying American Real Estate and Industries. 

“We will follow two simple rules: buy American and hire American.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Next Generation Pipelines Research and Development Act" sponsored by Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) creates new spending programs for researching and developing advanced technologies and materials for natural gas pipelines. Under the bill, the Department of Energy (DOE) will award financial grants to select companies "involved in the development of next generation pipeline systems, components, and related technologies". In April of 2025, the Trump administration significantly slashed nearly $10 billion of similar research and development grants to the one proposed in this act at the DOE. Note: The lawmakers who opposed the bill due to their opposition of fossil fuels were also recorded as opposing the Republican position. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.

The "Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Bill Keating (D- MA) would grow the size and scope of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the creation of a new "Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Grant Program". In 2023, NOAA allocated about $1 million for sea turtle stranding response and rehabilitation activities. Under this bill, NOAA would hire additional employees and spend an estimated $33 million to provide grants to various non-profits which assist sea turtles. President Trump's FY?2026 budget proposed a 26% reduction to NOAA’s budget - including elimination of the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), which handles wildlife conservation grants. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again. We’re ending trillions of dollars in waste, and it’ll mean much lower inflation; lower interest rates; lower payments on mortgages, credit cards, car loans; and much higher stock markets.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2025" sponsored by Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) contains key provisions which eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and other politicized initiatives surrounding climate change. This includes the removal of provisions which cut plastic waste in the legislative branch and the elimination of a requirement that members lease low-emission vehicles. Note: Lawmakers who supported the removal of DEI and climate change, but opposed the bill due to the fiscal impact were recorded as supporting the Republican Governors Association's position. Preamble – America First: A Return to Common Sense – Common Sense tells us clearly that the Republican Party must stand for Equal Treatment for All. Likewise, the Republican Party must ensure the equal application of law to all regardless of political affiliation or personal beliefs. “We want fairness, not reverse discrimination. Everyone deserves an equal chance based on merit.” – President Donald J. Trump

Advancing a Legislative Appropriations Bill Without Politicized Provisions Surrounding DEI and Climate Change.

The Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) amendment #1 to the "Committing Leases for Energy Access Now (CLEAN) Act" would enact significant delays in the permitting process for geothermal drilling. Under the bill, the timeline for an agency to respond to a project applicant on whether their geothermal drilling permit application is complete or deficient would triple. Additionally, the amendment would make the overall permitting process for geothermal resources more than 9 times longer than it would take for oil and gas, in part due to new review requirements connected to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Finally, the amendment would provide new authority for the Bureau of Land Management to deny geothermal permits in the final stages of the permitting process. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy. “We will blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, new pipelines, new refineries, new power plants, new electric plants, and reactors of all types.” – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #54 to the "Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2025" strikes the $3.45 billion of international disaster assistance funding provided in the bill. According to the sponsor, the State Department and international organizations funded through this bill "have time and time again advanced and sent American tax dollars to causes that run counter to American values and our foreign policy objectives" and "taxpayers that can barely afford their own bills, their own electricity bills, food bills, and daycare bills". In early 2025, the Trump Administration placed nearly 10,000 USAID employees on leave (retaining less than 300) and cancelled nearly 90% of foreign aid programs. Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #1 – The National Interest: Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God. "If you do (give foreign aid), you give it to ’em as a loan — not just a giveaway" – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) amendment #23 to the "Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025" reduces funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to FY2019 levels. The cut of $49 million represents 0.13 percent of the entire bill and leaves $155 million for the program to operate. The sponsor noted that "Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution list out those things that Congress is supposed to be responsible for, and yet it leaves the States programs like this". President Trump’s fiscal year 2026 budget blueprint calls for the complete elimination of NEH, mirroring his repeated efforts from his first term. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again. We’re ending trillions of dollars in waste, and it’ll mean much lower inflation; lower interest rates; lower payments on mortgages, credit cards, car loans; and much higher stock markets.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act" sponsored by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) would prevent illegal immigrants who have committed Social Security fraud or identification document fraud from entering the U.S. and automatically deports illegal immigrants who have engaged in such fraud within the United States. According to the sponsor, "the current process for holding aliens accountable for Social Security fraud and identification document fraud is bureaucratized to the point of absurdity. In one case, an alien trafficking in phony identification documents was placed in removal proceedings in 2005, with the lengthy appeals process not concluding until 2013." Chapter 2 – Seal the Border, and Stop the Migrant Invasion – Section #2 – Enforce Immigration Laws: Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry and overstaying Visas, and reinstate “Remain in Mexico” and other Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration to historic lows in President Trump’s first term. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries immediately. “We need to get tough on illegal immigration and hold criminals accountable with harsher sentences. I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately.” – President Donald J. Trump

This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Majorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) would impeach Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors, including for his handling of issues involving fentanyl and border security. According to the sponsor, "Mayorkas' policies have killed Americans, bankrupted communities, overrun schools, besieged towns, drowned hospitals, and incapacitated law enforcement while empowering cartels and foreign entities". Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents. We will declassify Government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees. “Why hasn’t he been arrested yet? … Was he given a pardon, Mayorkas? … I’ll take a look at that one.” – President Donald J. Trump

The "National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2024" sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) would expand the size and regulatory authority of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and increase agency spending by $5 million annually. Currently, the NIST is authorized to investigate the structural failure of a building that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that had the significant potential to cause a substantial loss of life. Under the bill, NIST's authority is expanded to now also investigate structural failures other than those involving buildings and to recommend related improvements to engineering standards and practices.  President Trump's FY 2026 budget proposed a $325 million cut to NIST and hundreds of positions within the agency - including physical infrastructure - to eliminate waste. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.

The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #42 to the "Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025" prohibits the Delaware River Basin Commission from implementing or enforcing a ban on hydraulic fracturing. According to the sponsor, "unaccountable bureaucrats at the Delaware River Basin Commission have instituted a hydraulic fracturing ban for a portion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The ban has blocked desperately needed natural gas from entering the market and striped away property rights and mineral rights from Pennsylvanians in contravention of the will of their very own legislature." Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy. “We will blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, new pipelines, new refineries, new power plants, new electric plants, and reactors of all types.” – President Donald J.

The "Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act" sponsored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) would redesignate Ansarallah, more commonly known as the Houthis, as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated the Houthis as an FTO on January 19, 2021. Approximately one month later, Biden's Secretary of State Anthony Blinken revoked the FTO designation of the Houthis. Since that time, the Houthis have relentlessly barraged Israel and the U.S. carrier strike group stationed in the region with rockets, missiles and drones. Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #4 – Strengthen Economic, Military, and Diplomatic Capabilities: Republicans will strengthen Economic, Military, and Diplomatic capabilities to protect the American way of life from the malign influences of Countries that stand against us around the World. "Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!" – President Donald J. Trump

The "Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Enhancement Act" sponsored by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) directs the National Park Service to assess the suitability and feasibility of adding the rest of Saratoga County and Washington County in New York to the "Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area" in New York. Areas which receive designation as National Heritage Areas receive additional federal funding. President Trump's FY 2026 budget slashed all funding for National Heritage Areas, cut the National Park Service operations budget by roughly $1 billion and suggested the transfer of some national park locations to state management. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again.

This resolution sponsored by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) urges the European Union (EU) to expeditiously designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under the EU Common Position 931 on terrorism (a sanction regime). It also encourages the Biden Administration to make the EU designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization a diplomatic priority in engagements with the EU. According to the sponsor, "the world must signal to the Islamic Republic of Iran that they will face severe consequences for their widespread acts of terrorism". In 2019 President Trump designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization to help weaken the power of Iran, a country known to harbor terrorists. Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #3 – Strengthen Alliances: Republicans will strengthen Alliances by ensuring that our Allies must meet their obligations to invest in our Common Defense and by restoring Peace to Europe. We will stand with Israel, and seek peace in the Middle East. We will rebuild our Alliance Network in the Region to ensure a future of Peace, Stability, and Prosperity. Likewise, we will champion Strong, Sovereign, and Independent Nations in the Indo-Pacific, thriving in Peace and Commerce with others. “Today, I am formally announcing my Administration’s plan to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization… The IRGC is the Iranian government’s primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign.” – President Donald J.

The Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) amendment #75 to the "Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2025" prohibits American taxpayer humanitarian funding in Syria from also "indirectly supporting" the regime of Bashar al- Assad, a known war criminal. According to the sponsor, "current appropriations law has established that taxpayer dollars do not go to the Assad regime" but "nearly half of the United Nations' aid funds in Syria were funneled to companies directly related to the Syrian Government." Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #1 – The National Interest: Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God.

The "Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act" sponsored by Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) places limits on the authority of the Department of Energy (DOE) to impose energy conservation standards for dishwashers unless DOE can prove the standards are economically justified and not likely to result in additional net costs to consumers. The bill is in response to DOE's own analysis that found the efficiency mandates of the Biden administration could increase the upfront cost of dishwashers by 28% and it could take consumers 12 years to payback the increased costs on a product that may only last 7-12 years. Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #4 – Lower Everyday Costs: Republicans will reduce the Regulatory burden, lower Energy costs, and promote Economic Policies that drive down the cost of living and prices for everyday goods and services. “Women tell me they have to run their dishwashers repeatedly to get them to work.” – President Donald J.

The Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) amendment #3 to the "Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2025" would return funding for the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) back to fiscal year '19 funding levels, which represents a reduction of $16.3 million. The sponsor noted that "peace through strength is something that many of us believe in" and that "it is the concern over the lack of our economic prowess, the lack of our strength why this amendment is before this body". In March of 2025 the Trump Administration largely dismantled the USIP, and issued mass termination notices stating that “Taxpayers don’t want to spend $50?million per year on a publicly?funded ‘research institute’ that has failed to deliver peace. President Trump ended the era of forever wars … and he is carrying out his mandate to eliminate bloat and save taxpayer dollars.” Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again.

The "Refrigerator Freedom Act" sponsored by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) places limits on the authority of the Department of Energy (DOE) to impose energy conservation standards for refrigerators and freezers unless DOE can prove the standards are economically justified and not likely to result in additional net costs to consumers. The bill is in response to DOE's own analysis that found the efficiency mandates of the Biden administration could increase the upfront costs on refrigerators and freezers by 25% and it could take consumers 10 years to payback the increased costs for a product that may only last 14-15 years. May 9, 2025, President Trump signed a resolution under the Congressional Review Act that repealed new DOE energy-efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator?freezers. Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #4 – Lower Everyday Costs: Republicans will reduce the Regulatory burden, lower Energy costs, and promote Economic Policies that drive down the cost of living and prices for everyday goods and services. “Efficiency standards render other American appliances like clothes washers and dishwashers less useful, more breakable, and more expensive to repair.”  – President Donald J.

The Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) amendment #5 to the "Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023" would weaken the underlying bill's regulatory relief and the provision redefining the definition of "qualified investor" which allows more individuals to invest in private markets. Under this amendment, an individual could now only invest 5 percent of their net worth on any one private offering, and no more than 25 percent of their net worth (excluding their primary residence) on all such private offerings. According to the sponsor, the amendment "gives us a better definition of those who can afford the risks and the risk of liquidity that comes with these private investments". Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking. “We are cutting regulations at a level that nobody has ever seen before.” – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) amendment #45 to the "Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025" would prohibit the funds from this bill to be used to give critical skills incentive (CSI) bonuses to senior executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office. According to the sponsor, the VA Office of Inspector General recently found senior bureaucrats in the VA Central Office had been improperly awarded over $10 million of these bonuses. Support is Republican Governors Association's position as this measure helps strengthen government integrity by establishing a critical fiscal safeguard within the Department of Veterans Affairs following a major misuse of taxpayer funds. Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents. We will declassify Government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees. “We are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean, responsive, and accountable. And we are ensuring our laws are enforced fairly.” – President Donald J. Trump

This version of the "American Relief Act, 2025" passed on December 19, 2024 and sponsored by Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) would fund the government through March 14, 2025. The bill also includes $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion in economic aid to farmers, as well as an extension of the farm bill through Sept. 30, 2025. Furthermore, the bill contains a two-year suspension of the debt limit until Jan. 30, 2027, a provision advocated by President-elect Trump to prevent Democratic Party roadblocks to his agenda. Preamble - America First: A Return to Common Sense - America needs determined Republican Leadership at every level of Government to address the core threats to our very survival: Our disastrously Open Border, our weakened Economy, crippling restrictions on American Energy Production, our depleted Military, attacks on the American System of Justice, and much more. "Any shutdown is a Biden problem to solve, and Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH". – President Donald J. Trump

Passing a Government Funding Package with a 2-Year Debt Limit Suspension Advocated by President Trump.

The "Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act" sponsored by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) would prevent illegal immigrants who have committed a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense from entering the U.S. and automatically deports illegal immigrants who commit DUI within the United States. The bill is largely in response to statements made by President Biden that he would fire ICE agents who deport illegal immigrants who have not committed felonies and his view that ICE agents should "only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's been committed, and I do not count drunk driving as a felony." Chapter 2 – Seal the Border, and Stop the Migrant Invasion – Section #2 – Enforce Immigration Laws: Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry and overstaying Visas, and reinstate “Remain in Mexico” and other Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration to historic lows in President Trump’s first term. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries immediately. “We need to get tough on illegal immigration and hold criminals accountable with harsher sentences. I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately.” – President Donald J. Trump

Strengthening Public Safety by Deny Entry and Deporting Illegal Immigrants Convicted of DUI Offenses in the U.S. through the "Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act".

The "National Telecommunications and Information Administration Reauthorization (NTIA) Act of 2023", sponsored by Bob Latta (R-OH) would be the first reauthorization of the NTIA since 1992, and significantly expand the size and scope of the agency. The 108-page package also codifies the "Digital Equity Act" and provisions from multiple other bills including the "Plan for Broadband Act" and "Open RAN Outreach Act". The NTIA is currently administering the $42.45 billion "Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program" which expands high-speed internet access in unserved and underserved areas. These broadband funds have largely been used to enrich woke telecom companies such as Comcast. On January 20, 2025 President Trump signed an Executive Order that halted the dispursement of the $42.45 billion in funds. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “No more woke handouts based on race! The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5?BILLION DOLLAR giveaway. I am ending this IMMEDIATELY, and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!” – President Donald J. Trump

The Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) amendment #11 to the "Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025" freezes the funding level of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to the FY24 enacted level, providing a saving of $57.8 million. According to the sponsor, CISA has strayed far from its mission and was part of the infamous "Disinformation Governance Board", which was established to censor Americans' free speech. The sponsor also noted "business records released by Twitter suggest that CISA distorted its mission from protecting the Nation's critical cyber and physical infrastructure into controlling what Americans can say and what speech is acceptable online". In early 2025, Trump proposed a major reduction - about $57.8 million - cutting CISA’s funding to its FY?2024 enacted level, with the explicit goal of reorienting the agency back to core cybersecurity functions. Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #2 – Republicans Will Dismantle Censorship & Protect Free Speech: We will ban the Federal Government from colluding with anyone to censor Lawful Speech, defund institutions engaged in censorship, and hold accountable all bureaucrats involved with illegal censoring. We will protect Free Speech online. “If we don't have FREE SPEECH, then we just don't have a FREE COUNTRY. It's as simple as that.” – President Donald J. Trump

Combatting CISA's Censorship and Infringement of the Free Speech Rights of Americans by Freezing the Agency Funding Level.

The "Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) would expand the size and scope of the Industry and Analysis Office (IAO) of the International Trade Administration (within the Department of Commerce) to monitor and respond to disruptions in industries and supply chains. This includes the establishment of a new "critical supply chain resiliency program" which maps, monitors, and models critical supply chains. President Trump's proposed FY 2026 budget made significant cuts within the IAO and slashed overall spending within the ITA by more than 31%. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again. We’re ending trillions of dollars in waste, and it’ll mean much lower inflation; lower interest rates; lower payments on mortgages, credit cards, car loans; and much higher stock markets.” – President Donald J. Trump

Growing the Size and Scope of the Department of Commerce to Create a Government Central Planning Program Pertaining to "Supply Chain Resiliency".

The Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) amendment #5 to the "Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act" would expand the use of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to vet foreigners traveling to the United States. While Section 702 prohibits the NSA and FBI from "intentionally" targeting Americans through its mass surveillance, these agencies acquire a huge amount of innocent Americans' communications "incidentally." These agencies can then conduct backdoor, warrantless searches of these "incidentally collected" communications. Through this amendment, a larger group of Americans would now be subject to having their communications collected and added to the government FISA database without a warrant. Preamble – America First: A Return to Common Sense – Commitment #9: End the Weaponization of Government Against the American People. “We will dismantle any programs or operations that violate the constitutional rights of our citizens, including unwarranted surveillance. KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!” – President Donald J. Trump

Weakening Civil Liberties by Expanding Warrantless Surveillance Under Section 702 of FISA to Encompass a Greater Number of Americans on the Grounds of "Travel Vetting".

The "Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act" sponsored by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) would rollback climate and environmental justice programs established in the Inflation Reduction Act (IFA) including the repeal of the "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund". The bill also eliminates an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program which provides incentives for petroleum and natural gas systems to reduce their emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases, as well as a charge placed on certain facilities for their methane emissions. Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #4 – Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy: Republicans will increase Energy Production across the board, streamline the permitting process, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal. “We’re going to try and have a policy where no windmills are being built. They don’t work without subsidy. … You don’t want energy that needs subsidy.” It’s called the Green New Deal -- I call it the Green New Hoax.” – President Donald J. Trump

Repealing the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and other Politicized Environmental Program Harming Economic Growth Through the "Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act".

The "Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act" sponsored by Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL) would reauthorize Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for five years, including the reauthorization of Section 702 for two years - which allows the government to spy on noncitizens located abroad without a warrant. While Section 702 prohibits the NSA and FBI from "intentionally" targeting Americans through its mass surveillance, these agencies acquire a huge amount of innocent Americans' communications "incidentally." These agencies can then conduct backdoor, warrantless searches of these "incidentally collected" communications. According to a 2021 FBI report, the agency conducted 3.4 million warrantless searches on Americans through Section 702. Preamble – America First: A Return to Common Sense – Commitment #9: End the Weaponization of Government Against the American People. “We will dismantle any programs or operations that violate the constitutional rights of our citizens, including unwarranted surveillance. KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!” – President Donald J. Trump

Weakening Civil Liberties by Reauthorizing FISA with Section 702 - Which has Allowed the Warrantless Surveillance of the Trump Campaign and Millions of Other Americans.

This resolution sponsored by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) acknowledges the dangers and challenges faced by law enforcement officers, condemns the Biden Administration's border policies, urges leaders to encourage and support law enforcement officers, and recognizes and sympathizes with law enforcement officers for the stress they face. Chapter 8 – Bring Common Sense to Government and Renew the Pillars of American Civilization – Section #2 – Rebuild Our Cities and Restore Law and Order: Republicans will restore safety in our neighborhoods by replenishing Police Departments, restoring Common Sense Policing, and protecting Officers from frivolous lawsuits. We will stand up to Marxist Prosecutors, vigorously defend the Right of every American to live in peace, and we will compassionately address homelessness to restore order to our streets. “I’ve always been tough on crime. Soft policies haven’t worked, and they put American families at risk. We need strong prisons and tough penalties for repeat offenders, not early release programs.” – President Donald J. Trump 

Condemning the Biden Administration for the Border Crisis and Encouraging the Support of Law Enforcement.

The Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) amendment #50 to the "Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025" would require the United States Army to establish gender-neutral fitness standards for its combat fitness test. According to the sponsor, "our enemies' bullets do not discriminate". The sponsor provided an example of a successful female service member who had to meet the standards to become an Army Ranger and "then went on to command her infantry platoon, but she now has a lower physical standard than the men she is charged to lead". In April of 2025, the Trump Administration declared that “All entry?level and sustained physical fitness requirements within combat arms positions must be sex?neutral, based solely on the operational demands of the occupation and the readiness needed to confront any adversary.” Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #2 – Modernize the Military: Republicans will ensure our Military is the most modern, lethal, and powerful Force in the World. We will invest in cutting-edge research and advanced technologies, including an Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield, support our Troops with higher pay, and get woke Leftwing Democrats fired as soon as possible. “I wouldn't want to have to tackle, as an example, Bryson, as a man. But I don't think a lot of women want to tackle him.” – President Donald J. Trump

Maintaining the Effectiveness of the US. Army Fighting Force by Establishing Gender-Neutral Fitness Standards for the Combat Fitness Test.

The Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) amendment #2 to the "Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023" would direct the SEC to create rules allowing electronic delivery to become the default communication method for investment companies with their investors. According to the sponsor, "the amendment aims to modernize the policy, with investors opting in to paper disclosures instead of opting out while ensuring that paper will always be an option." Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking. “We are cutting regulations at a level that nobody has ever seen before.” – President Donald J. Trump

Reducing Unnecessary Business Costs Through the Default "E-Delivery" of Investor Notices Rather than Traditional Mail by Amending the "Expanding Access to Capital Act".

The "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024" sponsored by Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) is a $460 billion minibus funding several government agencies through Fiscal Year 2024. Overall spending levels are generally flat compared to the prior year with increases for some agencies and decreases for others. For example, the bill provides a 10% cut to the EPA, 7% cut to ATF, and a 6% cut to the FBI. However, the bill continues to fund the Essential Air Service program and contains countless earmarks which fund pet projects of lawmakers, especially at the Army Corps of Engineers where spending is increased 7-fold. The bill also provides increased spending for a number of welfare programs such as WIC, plus $3.3 billion for community development block grants. Furthermore, hundreds of millions of dollars are directed to fight climate change through carbon capture. In April of 2025, President Trump blocked over $430 billion in federal funds (a portion of which authorized under this act) and in July of 2025 directed Congress to rescind over $ 9 billion of funding provided under the act. Note: two Democratic lawmakers who opposed the bill were marked as "X" due to the fact their opposition was not the spending but rather minor provisions pertaining to gun control. Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth. “We will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again. We’re ending trillions of dollars in waste, and it’ll mean much lower inflation; lower interest rates; lower payments on mortgages, credit cards, car loans; and much higher stock markets.” – President Donald J. Trump
