Censuring Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and removing her from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on the Budget.

Last action on Sep 17, 2025House: On Motion to Table

Summary

House Resolution 713 is a non-binding measure that proposes to formally censure Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. A censure is a public expression of strong disapproval by the House of Representatives, though it does not remove a member from office. Because this is a non-binding resolution, it does not have the force of law and would not impact the general public or federal statutes. Instead, it serves as an internal disciplinary action within the House of Representatives.

In addition to the censure, the resolution seeks to remove Representative Omar from her current positions on the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on the Budget. If passed, this would limit her ability to participate in the legislative drafting and oversight processes conducted by those specific committees. The resolution was introduced as a question of the privileges of the House, a procedural move used for matters that affect the integrity or reputation of the chamber.

VoteMotion to TableHouse

On September 17, 2025, the House voted 214-213 to table H.Res. 713, a resolution that would have censured Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and removed her from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on the Budget. By passing the motion to table, the House killed the resolution without holding a direct vote on whether to censure Omar or remove her from the committees. The vote was largely along party lines. All 210 voting Democrats supported the motion to table, joined by 4 Republicans, while 213 Republicans opposed tabling and 0 Democrats voted against it. The narrow 214-213 margin meant that the resolution was eliminated from consideration entirely. This tabling motion prevented the full House from voting on the merits of the censure and committee removal. With the resolution tabled, it will not advance further unless the House takes additional procedural action to reconsider it.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OFFER RESOLUTION - Ms. Mace notified the House of her intent to offer a privileged resolution pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX. The Chair announced that a determination will be made at the time designated for consideration of the resolution.
