appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the 
first Monday in November, in every fourth year suc-

Whereas, in November 2020, the Tuesday after the first 
Monday is November 3d; 
Whereas the Presidential election has always been held on the 
Tuesday following the first Monday in November, for a 
total of 43 times, since 1845; 
Whereas the Presidential election has never been moved, even 
during times of crisis such as world war, economic de-

Whereas article II, section 1, clause 4 of the Constitution em-

date, a power that does not extend to the Executive Of-
fice of the President; 
Whereas both Republican and Democratic Members of Con-
gress have expressed opposition to changing the date of 
the 2020 Presidential election; 
Whereas mail-in voting is a secure method of casting a vote 
and participating in the electoral process; and 
Whereas States count all cast ballots, whether mailed in ab-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
