HRES 918 United States House · 118th Congress

Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Joseph Biden, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes.

HRES 918 directs the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary to continue their ongoing investigations into whether grounds exist for impeaching President Joe Biden. The resolution establishes specific procedures for these committees, including allowing committee chairs and ranking minority members to question witnesses for extended periods (up to 90 minutes total per session), requiring detailed justifications for minority witness requests, and granting ranking minority members subpoena authority with committee chair concurrence. It also outlines how committees can issue reports with findings, transmit reports to the Judiciary Committee, and make depositions publicly available with appropriate redactions. This resolution provides procedural guidelines for ongoing committee investigations related to an impeachment inquiry, without itself initiating an impeachment. The resolution was introduced on December 7, 2023, and references a September 27, 2023 memorandum from committee chairs regarding the impeachment inquiry.
