Res. 676, which would grant the House authority to sue the President or other executive branch officials if they act unconstitutionally, and H.R. 935, a bill to clarify existing laws (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act) regarding the regulation of pesticides near navigable waters. The Resolution outlines specific procedures for debate and voting on these items, waiving certain procedural objections to ensure they can be considered and voted upon efficiently.
