Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress must urgently take all appropriate measures to guarantee civil rights and fair political representation to all Americans.

This resolution states the position of the House of Representatives on voting rights and the Supreme Court; it does not create new law. It says the House supports passing legislation to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to end racial discrimination in voting and ensure all eligible Americans can vote. It also says the House supports, at a future time, ending the 60-vote threshold in the Senate. Finally, it supports structural changes to the Supreme Court, such as a binding ethics code for Justices, term limits for Justices, and adding more seats to the Court.
