The Senate meets today; the House next meets Dec 1, 2009.

H. Res. 799:

Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors

110^th Congress

A simple resolution (H.Res. or S.Res.) like this one in the U.S. Congress is a legislative proposal that does not require the approval of the other chamber or the signature of the President and does not have the force of law. Simple resolutions are used only to change the internal rules of one of the chambers of Congress or to express the sentiments of one of the houses.

Bill numbers restart from 1 every two years. Each two-year cycle is called a session of Congress. This bill was created in the 110^th Congress, in 2007-2008.

The titles of bills are written by the bill's sponsor and are a part of the legislation itself. GovTrack does not editorialize bill summaries.
