Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 200 is a resolution expressing congressional support for a comprehensive political reform package designed to restore public trust in government. The resolution advocates for five main reforms: prohibiting Members of Congress and candidates from accepting campaign contributions from political action committees and lobbyists while imposing a lifetime lobbying ban; banning Members of Congress from holding or trading individual stocks and requiring them to place investments in blind trusts; establishing 12-year term limits for Members of Congress; creating an enforceable ethics code for Supreme Court Justices; and implementing 18-year term limits with regular appointment cycles for Supreme Court Justices. The resolution does not include funding or specific implementation timelines, as it is a statement of support rather than legislation that creates binding law. The proposed reforms would affect all current and future Members of Congress and Supreme Court Justices, and aim to address public concerns about conflicts of interest, political corruption, and declining faith in government institutions, citing polling data showing strong public support for each reform measure.
