This bill formally authorizes the White House Fellows Program in federal law for the first time, establishing it as a permanent initiative within the Executive Office of the President. The program, which has operated since 1964 under executive order, selects between 11 and 19 outstanding early-career American citizens annually to work directly with senior federal officials and gain first-hand experience in government. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens with a bachelor's degree, demonstrate exceptional leadership ability and moral character, and cannot be regular federal employees at the time of application, though active-duty military members are exempt from this restriction. Fellows serve as full-time federal employees for a 12-month term with compensation tied to the federal General Schedule, and the bill authorizes necessary funding through fiscal year 2031 while requiring annual reports to Congress on program operations and outcomes. The bill places administrative responsibility with the Office of Personnel Management and establishes a 30-member Presidential Commission to oversee recruitment, selection, and educational programming for fellows.

The American Made Federal Uniforms and Apparel Act of 2026 requires federal agencies to buy clothing, uniforms, and textile products from domestic sources rather than importing them. The law applies to all federal agencies purchasing clothing directly or through contractors providing services like uniform management and laundry. The requirement covers virtually all apparel items including outerwear, footwear, and uniforms, as well as the materials and components used to make them. The bill includes several exceptions to this domestic sourcing requirement. Agencies can purchase foreign-made items if they determine that satisfactory domestic products of sufficient quality and quantity cannot be obtained at United States market prices, though they must document this determination in writing. Additional exceptions allow purchases outside the U.S. during emergencies or for overseas operations, and small purchases below the micro-purchase threshold are exempt. The General Services Administration must report to Congress annually for four years on how much agencies are spending on domestic versus foreign clothing and textiles, beginning two years after the law takes effect. The law takes effect 180 days after enactment, and federal procurement regulations must be updated within 180 days to implement the requirements. The bill preserves existing domestic sourcing rules under other laws and does not interfere with programs that employ people who are blind or severely disabled.

The NEAUX PROS Act would prohibit colleges that receive federal student aid funding from allowing professional athletes to compete in intercollegiate sports in the same sport where they hold a professional contract. The bill affects colleges participating in federal Title IV student aid programs and their athletics departments. It requires institutions to exercise reasonable diligence in identifying professional athletes among prospective and current student-athletes, with the Department of Education providing guidance and a verification process. The legislation establishes criminal penalties of up to five years in prison for athletics officials who knowingly recruit or sign professional athletes in violation of the rule, with enhanced penalties of up to ten years if the violation involves financial gain or is part of a pattern of violations. The rules would take effect for the first academic year beginning after the bill's enactment, though individuals already competing as both professional and college athletes would be allowed to continue through that transition period.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would require all federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, to be natural born citizens. Currently, the Constitution only requires that the President be a natural born citizen, while judges can be naturalized citizens. The amendment would change this requirement and apply it to the entire federal judiciary. If passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, the amendment would need to be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution. The new requirement would take effect six months after ratification is completed.

This House resolution honors the life and service of Colonel Lindsey O. Graham, a retired Air Force judge advocate who served as a United States Senator from South Carolina until his death in July 2026 at age 71. Graham had a distinguished 33-year military career as a judge advocate, including active duty service during the Persian Gulf War and deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, for which he received the Bronze Star Medal. The resolution expresses the sense of the House that the Judge Advocate General's School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama should be renamed "The Colonel Lindsey O. Graham Judge Advocate General's School" to honor his military service and his decades of legislative work on military justice and national defense. The resolution urges the Secretary of the Air Force to take administrative action to effect the renaming and expresses the House's intent to enact legislation if necessary to accomplish it. No funding is involved in this resolution, which is a ceremonial measure honoring a departed public servant.

This resolution expresses House support for the Trump Administration's effort to obtain a rehearing of a Supreme Court case called Trump v. Barbara, which addressed whether children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are automatically U.S. citizens. In June 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that such children are indeed subject to U.S. jurisdiction and qualify for automatic citizenship, invalidating an earlier executive order that would have denied them citizenship. The resolution cites concerns that this decision is being exploited by "birth tourism" operations charging fees to foreign nationals to give birth in the United States and obtain citizenship for their children. Congress is urging the Solicitor General to petition the Supreme Court for a rehearing and asking the Judiciary Committee to monitor developments and consider any necessary legislative actions to address what lawmakers view as potential circumvention of immigration laws. The resolution does not provide any new funding or establish specific timelines beyond noting that Supreme Court petitions for rehearing must typically be filed within 25 days of a decision.

This bill would restrict eligibility for major federal welfare programs exclusively to U.S. citizens, eliminating eligibility for noncitizens who currently qualify under existing law. The affected programs include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, food stamps (SNAP), Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, federal housing assistance, WIC nutrition benefits for women and children, and low-income energy assistance. The legislation would take effect 180 days after enactment, with a transition period allowing current noncitizen recipients up to six months to leave the programs or transition off benefits. The bill exempts certain emergency services like emergency medical care, disaster relief, immunizations, and community services like soup kitchens, as well as Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance, which would continue under existing rules. The bill was introduced by Representatives Fuller, Carter, and McCormick and was referred to multiple committees including Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Education and Workforce.

The COCOA-VIP Act clarifies that congressional election observers have the right to monitor primary elections for federal office, not just general elections. Under the bill, the term "election for federal office" in the Help America Vote Act of 2002 is expanded to explicitly include primary elections, special elections, and runoff elections where candidates for Senate or House of Representatives appear on the ballot. This change affects poll watchers and election observers who monitor elections to ensure integrity and compliance with voting procedures. The bill does not require states or political parties to provide observer access to party conventions, caucuses, or other nomination processes that do not use ballots. The legislation contains no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond amending the existing Help America Vote Act.

The HONEST Act of 2026 significantly increases criminal penalties for sex offenses when committed by federal officers and Members of Congress. The bill modifies federal law to impose potential death penalties or life imprisonment for crimes including sexual abuse, child exploitation, sex trafficking, and child pornography if the offender holds federal office or serves in Congress, whereas non-officials convicted of the same crimes face lower mandatory sentences. Additionally, the legislation creates a new federal crime of adultery specifically for federal officers and Members of Congress, punishable by up to one year in prison and fines. The bill affects all current and future federal officials and congressional members and applies immediately upon enactment, with no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation.

This resolution seeks to impeach Eleanor L. Ross, a federal judge in Georgia's Northern District, for high crimes and misdemeanors. According to the article of impeachment, Judge Ross engaged in sexual activity with an Atlanta Police Department official in her courthouse chambers during business hours between October 2023 and October 2025, conduct that allegedly occurred within earshot of her staff. When questioned about this behavior by court leadership in September 2025, Judge Ross made false statements denying the sexual activity had occurred in her office before later admitting the truth to an investigating committee. The Special Committee's investigation included review of security footage, sign-in logs, interviews with former clerks, and physical inspections of her chambers. The resolution argues that Judge Ross's misconduct and deliberate false statements to senior judges demonstrate she is unfit to serve and warrants her removal from office.

The Millstone Act increases criminal penalties for multiple offenses involving the sexual exploitation of children. The bill amends federal law to add the death penalty as a possible punishment for ten different categories of child exploitation crimes, including child sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, production and distribution of child sexual abuse material, and female genital mutilation of minors. Currently, these offenses carry prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment, but the bill expands sentencing options to include capital punishment while maintaining the existing imprisonment terms. The legislation affects federal prosecutors, courts, and individuals convicted of these crimes, and contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline. The bill was introduced in June 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would narrow the definition of who automatically receives U.S. citizenship at birth. Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, which has been interpreted to include children born to undocumented immigrants. The proposed amendment would restrict automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or a non-citizen serving in the military. The amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution. This change would affect millions of people born in the U.S. to immigrant parents and would represent a significant shift in American citizenship law.

This bill would award Congressional Gold Medals to President Donald Trump, the United States Secret Service, and local law enforcement partners in recognition of their efforts protecting the President. According to the bill's findings, the medals would commemorate the Secret Service and law enforcement response to three incidents: a July 2024 shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, a thwarted assassination attempt in Florida in September 2024, and a prevented attack at a White House event in April 2026. The bill would authorize the Treasury Department to design and strike three gold medals—one for the President, one for the Secret Service Museum, and one for the National Law Enforcement Museum—and allows for the creation and sale of duplicate bronze medals. The costs would be paid from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, with any proceeds from bronze medal sales returned to that fund.

This resolution states that the House of Representatives has demonstrated support for U.S. prosperity and economic growth, especially in rural communities, through policies related to energy, health care, manufacturing, and broadband connectivity.
