What were the roll call vote numbers and outcomes for any House continuing resolution (CR) in 2025?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive Summary
The materials supplied make multiple, sometimes conflicting claims about House continuing-resolution (CR) roll-call tallies in 2025; the only specific and consistently reported House roll-call number in these materials is the 217–215 passage of H. Con. Res. 14 on February 25, 2025 [1]. Other asserted tallies for CRs—such as 420–10 and 412–15—appear in the file set but lack corroborating roll-call details in the provided records and must be treated as unverified or aggregate summaries pending direct citation to the House roll-call database [2] [3]. The Senate cloture vote on H.R. 5371 on November 4, 2025, is clearly recorded as 54 yeas, 44 nays, 2 not voting, but that is a Senate procedural vote and not a House CR roll call [4].
1. What the sources actually claim — parsing the core assertions and where they differ
The dataset presents three distinct kinds of claims. First, a specific Senate procedural roll call is recorded: a cloture vote on H.R. 5371 on November 4, 2025, with 54–44 (2 NV) and a largely party-line split, noting cross-party exceptions (Fetterman for cloture, Paul against) [4]. Second, the House roll-call database is repeatedly invoked as the primary repository for official tallies but is not consistently mined; several excerpts note that the House roll-call records exist without giving the precise vote sheets for each CR [2] [3]. Third, one discrete House vote is provided with full numbers and date: H. Con. Res. 14 passed 217 yeas to 215 nays on February 25, 2025 [1]. These three strands show a clear Senate entry, one specific House CR tally, and multiple unsubstantiated House CR tallies elsewhere in the set.
2. The verified House continuing-resolution vote we can rely on now
The only full House CR roll-call fully documented in the supplied analyses is the February 25, 2025 vote on H. Con. Res. 14, recorded as 217 yeas, 215 nays, 1 not voting, with the affirmative bloc identified as Republicans delivering all 217 yeas and Democrats composing the nays [1]. This entry supplies both vote counts and a date, and it is framed as a resolution to set congressional budget levels for FY2025 and FY2026–2034. Because it includes roll-call numbers, party breakdown, and timing, this vote qualifies as a verified House CR-related roll call in 2025 within the provided material and should be treated as authoritative for present purposes [1].
3. Other House tallies in the set — inconsistent and unverified claims
The materials also present other House tallies—420–10 and 412–15—as vote outcomes on unspecified continuing resolutions or CR-related measures [2]. These tallies lack date stamps, roll-call identifiers, or the explicit bill numbers that would allow cross-checking against the official House Roll Call Votes repository. Several source notes explicitly say the House vote archive needs to be consulted for exact numbers, indicating those 420/412 tallies may be summaries, conflations of multiple votes, or misattributions [3] [2]. Given those gaps, the 420–10 and 412–15 figures must be treated as provisional claims that require direct verification from the House roll-call database.
4. The Senate cloture figure and why it matters to CR coverage
A Senate procedural roll call tied to a continuing-appropriations measure is unambiguous in these materials: the November 4, 2025 cloture motion on H.R. 5371 recorded 54 yeas, 44 nays, 2 not voting, and the cloture motion failed to invoke the 60-vote threshold, meaning Senate progress on that CR was blocked at that stage [4]. While this is a Senate vote, it directly intersects CR debates because Senate procedures determine whether House-passed CRs advance or stall in the upper chamber. The document also highlights cross-party divergences—useful context in interpreting why some CRs pass the House but face different dynamics in the Senate [4].
5. The gaps, likely explanations, and where to confirm the full picture
The supplied material repeatedly points to the official House roll-call repository as the authoritative source for all House CR tallies but stops short of furnishing roll-call numbers for every CR; this explains why some tallies are ambiguous or uncorroborated [2] [3]. Possible reasons include conflating multiple votes, citing preliminary tallies or procedural amendments instead of final CR passage votes, or summarizing votes reported by third-party outlets without roll-call citations [2]. To finalize verification, consult the House Roll Call Votes archive for the 119th Congress, 1st Session and cross-check roll-call numbers and vote descriptions for each CR of 2025; the dataset itself signals that as the decisive reference point [2].
6. Bottom line and immediate next steps for definitive verification
From the materials provided, the only fully documented House continuing-resolution roll call in 2025 is H. Con. Res. 14 (Feb. 25, 2025) at 217–215; the Senate cloture vote on H.R. 5371 (Nov. 4, 2025) is recorded separately at 54–44 (2 NV) [1] [4]. Other House tallies cited (420–10, 412–15) remain unverified within this file set and require direct lookup of the House roll-call database or contemporaneous roll-call transcripts to confirm. For a definitive, comprehensive list of every House CR roll-call in 2025, consult the House Roll Call Votes pages for the 119th Congress and pull each roll-call number and outcome; the supplied analyses point to that repository as the authoritative source [2].
