tv_txt: IV 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 19 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 17, 2023 Ms. Williams of Georgia (for herself and Mr. Swalwell ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Prohibiting President Donald Trump and certain other individuals who attempted to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election from entering the United States Capitol.

Whereas following the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol, the House of Representatives voted on a bipartisan basis to establish the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol; Whereas during the Select Committee's investigation the House of Representatives held Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro in criminal contempt of Congress and certified those contempts to the Department of Justice for prosecution; Whereas, on December 19, 2022, the Select Committee referred Donald Trump, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Cheseboro for criminal prosecution; Whereas, on December 22, 2022, the Select Committee released its final report describing the effort to undermine and overturn the 2020 election, which culminated in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021; Whereas part of that report described the role that Donald Trump, Steven Bannon, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, Rudy Giuliani, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro played in the planning and execution of the efforts to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election; Whereas the effort to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election damaged the functions of our democracy; Whereas the effort to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election damaged the integrity of Congress’s constitutional role in certifying the election results; Whereas the effort to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, were an attack on the constitutional requirement that Congress be formed pursuant to and held accountable to the will of the people; Whereas the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, claimed the lives of five law enforcement officers and put the lives of Members of Congress and the Vice President of the United States in genuine peril; Whereas the continuation of democracy in the United States is an active process that requires the vigilance and action of those who seek to preserve it; and Whereas the continuation of democracy in the United States requires accountability for those who seek to damage it: Now, therefore, be it

1. Prohibiting President Trump and certain other individuals who attempted to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election from entering United States Capitol The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit President Donald John Trump, Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, and Rudy Giuliani from entering the United States Capitol.
