House GOP Bundles Four Unrelated Bills To End Floor Blockade
H. Res. 1423 passed 215-211 on July 14, tying daylight saving permanence to State Department funding, veterans benefits, and gun-merchant privacy rules.
- Rules Committee filed H. Rept. 119-749 on July 13, clearing the four-bill package 6 to 4.
- H.R. 8595 funds the State Department and national security for fiscal 2027, with 29 amendments allowed.
- H.R. 1181 bars payment networks from coding gun retailers as high-risk merchants.
Why it matters: A rule that fuses daylight saving, war funding, veterans and firearms into one vote is bargaining, not principle.
