                               RESOLUTION


 
         Censuring Representative Bill Pascrell of New Jersey.

Whereas, on November 20, 2020, Representative Bill Pascrell sent a letter to the 
        State Bar of Arizona, the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, the 
        Office of the Bar Counsel of Nevada, the State of New York Grievance 
        Committee, and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of 
        Pennsylvania, to file a complaint against attorneys in each jurisdiction 
        representing the campaign of President Donald J. Trump;
Whereas Representative Bill Pascrell's letters accuse the attorneys of filing 
        ``frivolous lawsuits'' and requests each State agency ``to commence an 
        immediate investigation of their actions and consider sanctions for 
        their conduct up to and including revocation of their licenses to 
        practice law in your jurisdiction.'';
Whereas President Donald J. Trump's campaign has a legal right to sue to ensure 
        that each legal vote is counted and to challenge any illegal votes; and
Whereas each candidate running for public office in each State has the right to 
        pursue every legal option to ensure ballot integrity and fair elections: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives censures Representative 
        Bill Pascrell for conduct that threatens the livelihoods of 
        American citizens in a way that is not befitting an elected 
        Member of the House of Representatives;
            (2) Representative Bill Pascrell will forthwith present 
        himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of 
        censure; and
            (3) Representative Bill Pascrell will be censured with the 
        public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
