The Congressional Trade Authority Act of 2025, known as H.R. 1903, has remained in the House Ways and Means and Rules committees since March 5, 2025. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills in Congress never receive a committee vote and die through inaction.
