H. Res. 448 establishes a 13-member House Select Committee to investigate former President Biden's cognitive and physical health decline, alleged concealment of health information from the public, and related matters including his cancer diagnosis, Vice President Harris and Jill Biden's roles in any cover-up, media coverage, use of autopen for official acts, Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation tapes, and classified document handling. The Speaker will appoint members and designate the chair, with the minority leader consulted on five appointments, and the committee will have investigative powers including the ability to issue subpoenas and hold public hearings, but no authority to draft legislation. The committee must submit all reports and policy recommendations to the House by December 31, 2025, and will automatically terminate 30 days after filing its final report. No specific funding amount is identified in the resolution, with staff and funding to be handled through standard House administration procedures.
