This site's record holds one roll-call vote on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. It was not a vote on the bill. On July 16, 2026 the House rejected a motion to recommit the measure, 210 to 211, on Roll Call 249, and no vote on passage appears in this record.

What Happened

Correction to this site's record. Until August 29, 2026, this site's bill page for H.R. 9237 rendered Roll Call 249 under the step heading "Failed in the House", with the measure's title on the line where the parliamentary question belonged. The site's vote listings carried the same title beneath the bill number, beside a failed 210 to 211 tally with no question. The search results listed the bill number, "H R 9237", with the line "House · Jul 16 · 210-211 Failed" beside it and no question anywhere in the row, so a searcher saw the bill's number attached to a failure and nothing to indicate what had failed. That implied the House had rejected the bill, when what the House rejected was a motion to recommit it. The same parsing defect affected 17 of the 40 House roll calls published at that time; two further roll calls, 250 and 251, have since been added to this record. The data has been corrected, and this article states what the roll call shows.

A motion to recommit asks the House to send a bill back to committee. If it is agreed to, the bill returns to committee; if it is rejected, the bill remains before the House. This site's glossary entry describes when the motion is offered and which member House rules prefer for offering it.

On July 16, 2026, Roll Call 249 put that motion on H.R. 9237 to the House. It failed, 210 to 211, with the yes column one short of the no column.

This site's House record for this period runs unbroken from Roll Call 242 (July 15, 2026) to Roll Call 283 (July 23, 2026), with no roll-call number missing between them. It does not extend past July 23, 2026, several weeks before this article's date. Within that range, Roll Call 249 is the only roll call on H.R. 9237, and no vote on its passage appears.

The next two roll calls in this record fall four days later, on July 20, 2026, and are on other measures: Roll Call 250 on H.R. 4541 and Roll Call 251 on H.R. 8823.

That distinction matters for anyone searching for whether the bill passed. A motion to recommit carries the bill's name alongside the question in the Clerk's record. Where the question is dropped, as it was in this site's listings until August 29, 2026, a reader who sees the words "Take Care of America's Veterans Act" beside a failed tally of 210 to 211 can reasonably but wrongly conclude that the House rejected the bill. The House rejected a motion about the bill.

Party breakdown for Roll Call 249, from the Office of the Clerk, retrieved August 29, 2026. The four columns sum to 431, the number of members appearing in the Clerk's per-member record for this roll call.

Who Voted Against Their Own Party

One rule produces the crossings below, applied to both parties: every member the Clerk records voting against the majority of their own party.

For this roll call it returns 3 Republicans, who voted yes: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL-13), Rep. Max L. Miller (R-OH-7) and Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ-2). It returns 0 Democrats, because every Democrat the Clerk records voting was recorded Yea.

The House's one independent, Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA-3), voted Nay. He is the only member the Clerk records with that party label on this roll call, so there is no other member of his party here to compare him against; his vote is noted so that the no column is fully accounted for, and it is not counted as a crossing.

The Clerk's roll-call record shows how each member voted on the motion. It does not record who offered it, and a vote either way on a motion to recommit is not a recorded position on the bill itself.

5 Republicans and 5 Democrats are recorded as Not Voting. The Clerk's record gives no reason for a member's non-vote and does not indicate whether a member was present.

What This Record Does and Does Not Show

This page reports the roll-call votes the Office of the Clerk published within the range this site covers. It does not report what happened to H.R. 9237 afterward, why no passage vote appears in this record, or what any member intended by a vote. Those are questions the roll-call record cannot answer, and this site does not answer them by inference.

The Clerk also records only roll-call votes. Business conducted by voice vote, by unanimous consent, or in committee leaves no entry here. The bill's Congress.gov page is the authoritative list of actions on the bill.

Where to Check the Current Status

The Congress.gov record for H.R. 9237 is the authoritative list of actions on the bill, including any outside the range this site covers. This site's own bill page for H.R. 9237 lists the roll calls it holds within that range and records that none of them is a passage vote, rather than treating the motion to recommit as one. Like this article, it does not cover anything after July 23, 2026; the Congress.gov record does.

Every tally and roll-call number on this page is drawn from the record the Office of the Clerk published for the roll call cited beside it, and the party breakdown is the Clerk's own per-party total for Roll Call 249. The four members named above appear in the Clerk's per-member record for the same roll call, which gives each member's surname, party and state. Their full names and district numbers are from this site's legislator records.
