What’s happening with Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act?
The House passed H.R. 23 on January 27, 2025, but the bill stalled in the Senate after a vote failed to move it forward on that same day. The Senate must take action for the bill to proceed, but the 60 vote requirement remains a binding constraint. History shows that most bills passed by one chamber do not become law because the Senate often chooses not to schedule them for a vote.
