Authorizing the Speaker to appear as amicus curiae on behalf of the House of Representatives in the matter of United States, et al. v. Texas, et al., No. 15-674.

Bill 114 H.Res. 639, also known as the resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to appear as amicus curiae on behalf of the House of Representatives in the case of United States, et al. v. Texas, et al., No. 15-674, was introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this resolution is to allow the Speaker of the House to represent the House of Representatives in a legal matter before the Supreme Court.

In this case, the United States government is suing the state of Texas and other parties over a legal issue that has significant implications for the country. The Speaker of the House, as a representative of the legislative branch, seeks to provide input and support to the court as it considers the case.

The resolution authorizes the Speaker to file a brief as amicus curiae, which is a legal term meaning "friend of the court." This allows the Speaker to present arguments and information to the court that may be relevant to the case, even though the House of Representatives is not a direct party to the lawsuit. Overall, this resolution is aimed at ensuring that the interests of the House of Representatives are represented in this important legal matter. It demonstrates the commitment of the legislative branch to upholding the rule of law and participating in the legal process to protect the rights and interests of the American people.
