Providing for consideration of the resolution (H.Res. 863) impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 485) to amend title XI of the Social Security Act to prohibit the use of quality-adjusted life years and similar measures in coverage and payment determinations under Federal health care programs.

HRES 996 is a procedural resolution that sets rules for the House to debate two separate items: (1) a resolution impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (H.Res. 863), and (2) a bill (H.R. 485) that would prohibit federal health programs from using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in coverage or payment decisions. The resolution establishes time limits for debate, waives procedural objections, and specifies how amendments may be offered for both items. It does not change policy itself but governs the House’s process for considering these proposals. This resolution affects House debate procedures only, not the substantive outcomes of the impeachment or healthcare bill.
