RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that

Whereas government shutdowns cause disarray in national

strength of our economy and faith in our public institu-

Whereas government shutdowns cause long-term damage to 
our national infrastructure, and hinder Americans’ ability 
to travel safely and securely; 
Whereas government shutdowns create an immediate and 
pressing crisis across the country; and 
Whereas Congress and Administrations have an obligation to 
work on a collaborative basis to resolve policy issues and 
implement long-term solutions in a variety of areas, in-
cluding but not limited to: economic growth, environ-
mental sustainability, affordable healthcare, workforce 
development, education, veterans affairs, infrastructure,

Resolved, That the House of Representatives commits

(1) take meaningful bipartisan action to amend 
the United States Code to prevent any future lapse 
in appropriations, and to permanently end govern-

Whereas at the hearing, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander 
Vindman said ‘‘I am a patriot, and it is my sacred duty

tive of party or politics.’’; 
Whereas Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman and his twin 
brother, Lieutenant Colonel Yevgeny Vindman, were re-
moved from the National Security Council on February 
7, 2020, in an apparent act of retaliation; 
Whereas the Office of the President of the United States

Federal Government; and 
Whereas blatant attempts to govern by fear, exemplified by 
the unwarranted and politically motivated termination of 
two qualified, distinguished, and dedicated public serv-
ants has no place in a Nation ruled by laws: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) the actions taken by the Trump administra-
