Key Vote: America COMPETES Reauthorization Act

Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass; America COMPETES Reauthorization Act
- Vote Failed (261-148, 22 Not Voting)

The House fell short of the 273 votes needed under suspension rules to pass this bill that would reauthorize science research programs. Republicans argue too many of the $48 billion bill’s programs are duplicative while Democrats argue the bill will increase economic competitiveness.
