About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 20, 2025
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, 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.
This resolution condemns former FBI Director James Comey for what House Republicans characterize as incitement of violence against President Trump. The resolution references a May 15, 2025 social media post by Comey displaying the phrase "86–47" with additional text, which sponsors interpret as a call for the President's elimination. The resolution calls on the Department of Justice to investigate Comey's conduct, urges that he be barred from future federal employment, and states that Congress should hold him accountable for alleged threats to the President. The resolution is largely symbolic—resolutions express the sense of Congress on particular matters but do not create law or allocate funding. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in May 2025.
