House Democrats blocked a motion by the Republicans to consider a bill for the fourth time that would have allowed for American energy independence.
House Democrats blocked a motion by the Republicans on Thursday to consider a bill for the fourth time that would have allowed the United States to be energy independent from Russia as they recently invaded Ukraine.
Republicans offered a motion to block the previous question on the House floor. If the previous question was blocked, the House could consider Republican-led H.R. 6858, the American Energy Independence from Russia Act, to support American energy production across the country. However, Democrats blocked the motion in support of the bill on the same day that President Joe BidenAmerican oil companies to start producing more oil and threatened them with publishment if they did not respond. If the bill passed, it would have provided a solution Biden is looking for by supporting the production of American energy across the country and helping lower the rising cost of gas.
