S J Res 90 Venezuela (Rejected 49 to 51 on 11/6/2025, Roll Call 608). Prevents military action within or against Venezuela without a congressional declaration of war. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

S J Res 80 Alaska Petroleum Reserve Rule (Passed 52 to 45 on 10/30/2025, Roll Call 599). Overturns a 2022 Bureau of Land Management rule for the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8 & Art. IV, Sec. 3.

Senator Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) amendment to S 2296 Federal Reserve Interest Payments (Rejected 14 to 83 on 10/9/2025, Roll Call 562). Prohibits any Federal Reserve bank from paying interest on reserve balances that are maintained at a Federal Reserve bank by or on behalf of a big bank or another depository institution. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

S Con Res 22 Budget Resolution (Rejected 36 to 62 on 9/16/2025, Roll Call 521). Cuts six percent of all federal spending. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

HR 4 Fiscal 2025 Rescissions (Passed 51 to 48 on 7/17/2025, Roll Call 411). Rescinds $9 billion in funding previously appropriated by Congress for fiscal 2025. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Senator Mike Lee's (R-Utah) amendment to HR 1 Ending "Green" Subsidies (Rejected 21 to 79 on 7/1/2025, Roll Call 360). Ends federal tax credits for projects utilizing battery and energy-storage technologies. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

H J Res 42 Appliance Efficiency Regulations (Passed 52 to 46 on 4/30/2025, Roll Call 223). Overturns a Department of Energy rule imposing new efficiency-standard certification, labeling, and enforcement requirements for dozens of appliances. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

The federal government should not impose regulatory standards on consumer products. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution does not authorize Congress to regulate consumer products; this is reserved to the states, as the 10th Amendment affirms.

The “Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,” which mandates a federal minimum wage for nearly every employee in the United States, is unconstitutional. Nothing in the Constitution authorizes Congress to set the wages of non-federal or private employees. In fact, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution limits Congress to regulating “Commerce … among the several States,” preventing interference by the federal government in intrastate economic matters. The 10th Amendment reinforces that all powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved “to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Sen. Paul's amendment to HR 1968 Debt Ceiling (Rejected 5 to 94 on 4/4/2025, Roll Call 179). Reduces the bill's increase in the debt limit from $4 trillion to $500 billion.

Sen. Paul's amendment to HR 1968 USAID Funding Cuts (Rejected 27 to 73 on 2/21/2025, Roll Call 77). Reduces funding levels for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

The federal government should not use taxpayer money to facilitate biological males competing against real women and girls.

H J Res 35 EPA Emissions Rule (Passed 52 to 47 on 2/27/2025, Roll Call 97). Overturns an EPA rule that imposed annual fees on oil and gas facilities that emit methane above certain thresholds. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Senator Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to S Con Res 7 Deficit Reduction (Rejected 24 to 76 on 2/21/2025, Roll Call 77). Reduces the deficit by approximately $1.4 trillion through fiscal 2034. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Senator Ben Ray Luján's (D-N.M.) amendment to S Con Res 7 Federal Funding for Law Enforcement (Rejected 48 to 52 on 2/21/2025, Roll Call 81). Increases federal funding for local law enforcement by funding the COPS Hiring Program. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Senator Tammy Duckworth's (D-Ill.) amendment to S Con Res 7 In Vitro Fertilization (Rejected 49 to 51 on 2/21/2025, Roll Call 82). Protects access to "reproductive healthcare," including "fertility treatment services" such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

The U.S. Constitution does not grant a right to abortion. Abortion is not healthcare, it is the ending of innocent human life, and the Declaration of Independence affirms the right to life as a fundamental, God-given, and inherent right.

HR 10545 Continuing Appropriations (Passed 85 to 11 on 12/21/2024, Roll Call 339). Extends federal funding through March 14, 2025. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

S J Res 117 Canceling Ukrainian Debt (Rejected 37 to 61 on 11/20/2024, Roll Call 295). Disapproves of President Biden's plan to cancel $4.65 billion in Ukrainian debt.

IVF is not included in the powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. Moreover, in February 2024, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos should be considered children, just as should be the case with embryos in the mother’s womb. The destruction of frozen embryos — which is common in the IVF process — is the destruction of innocent human life.

The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to regulate furnaces and other appliances.

This vote marked the return of the United States to the Paris-based organization, reversing its formal exit by the Trump administration in 2018. Yet rather than merely leaving UNESCO, the United States should fully withdraw from the entire United Nations system. The UN poses one of the greatest threats to U.S. sovereignty and the God-given rights of the American people, as its charter is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution. Congress must pursue a sound, traditional foreign policy of noninterventionism, based on U.S. interests and the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

HR 815 Foreign Aid Package (Passed 79 to 18 on 4/23/2024, Roll Call 154). Provides a total of $95.3 billion in “emergency” aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

FISA has been used to spy on U.S. citizens without a warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment. While the bill includes provisions ostensibly to protect the privacy of U.S. citizens, those provisions fail to uphold Americans’ Fourth Amendment-protected rights. Furthermore, the FISA Court approves just about any surveillance request that comes its way, and given the track record of intelligence agencies, it is unlikely that they would actually follow these rules.

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to HR 7888 Surveilling U.S. Citizens (Rejected 11 to 81 on 4/19/2024, Roll Call 147). Prohibits federal officials from requesting orders under FISA to surveil U.S. persons, among other provisions. See U.S. Const., amend. 4.

S 4072 EPA Tailpipe Emissions Rule (Rejected 52 to 46 on 4/18/2024, Roll Call 142). Prohibits the use of fiscal 2024 funding to implement or enforce EPA rules on tailpipe emissions for vehicles. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

The 10th Amendment reserves any such regulatory powers to “the States respectively, or to the people,” as opposed to unelected federal bureaucrats. In addition to eroding state sovereignty, the FHWA’s rule is a step toward implementing UN-led global “climate change” policy.

Sen. Eric Schmitt's (R-Mo.) amendment to HR 2882 Free Speech (Rejected 47 to 51 on 3/23/2024, Roll Call 109). Prohibits funds from being used by the federal government to label speech as “disinformation or misinformation” or to coerce online platforms to censor such speech. See U.S. Const., amend. 1.

HR 2882 Consolidated Appropriations (Passed 74 to 24 on 3/23/2024, Roll Call 114). Appropriates $1.2 trillion in total funding for fiscal 2024. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Sen. Paul's amendment to HR 2882 Spending Reductions (Rejected 34 to 63 on 3/23/2024, Roll Call 106). Reduces spending by 5 percent, excluding military and border funding. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Sen. Bill Hagerty's (R-Tenn.) amendment to HR 2882 Migrant Parole Program (Rejected 47 to 51 on 3/23/2024, Roll Call 112). Prohibits funding in the bill from being used to fly illegal migrants into the United States. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Migrants who do not satisfy the conditions for asylum are often, upon their entry into the United States and release from custody, granted parole for up to two years under Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, making them eligible for work permits. Given that aliens are presumed to be ineligible for asylum if they enter the United States unlawfully after failing to seek refuge in a third country (e.g., Mexico), the CBP One app has effectively become a fraudulent gateway for millions of illegal migrants. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution stipulates that Congress shall have the power to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization,” and Article II, Section 3 requires the president to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

The purpose of the U.S. Census is to determine the allotment of congressional seats and Electoral College votes for each state. Illegal aliens, who are not U.S. citizens, should not be counted toward determining those numbers. Furthermore, changing the demographics of a congressional district or state also changes the voting patterns of those areas.

HR 4366 Consolidated Appropriations (Passed 75 to 22 on 3/8/2024, Roll Call 84). Appropriates $467.5 billion in federal funding for fiscal 2024. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Senator Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to HR 7463 Federal Reserve Activities (Rejected 37 to 53 on 2/29/2024, Roll Call 63). Prohibits the Federal Reserve from purchasing or selling the debt of any state or municipality. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8 and Art. I, Sec. 10.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the power to declare war belongs to Congress, and the United States should follow a policy of noninterventionism, minding its own business in foreign affairs.

S J Res 43 Student Loan Repayment Rule (Rejected 49 to 50 on 11/15/2023, Roll Call 310). Formally disapproves of an unconstitutional Department of Education rule to repay and forgive student loans. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Sen. Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to HR 6363 Spending Reductions (Rejected 32 to 65 on 11/15/2023, Roll Call 311). Reduces funding in the bill for most federal agencies by 15 percent, and rescinds $30 billion in IRS enforcement funds. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

HR 4366 Consolidated Appropriations Minibus (Passed 82 to 15 on 11/1/2023, Roll Call 284). Provides roughly $279 billion in spending for three of the 12 fiscal 2024 appropriations bills. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to HR 4366 Audit the Fed (Rejected 46 to 51 on 11/1/2023, Roll Call 280). Requires a full audit of the Federal Reserve System.

The deployment of U.S. forces to Niger was not specifically authorized by Congress, and under the Constitution only Congress has the power to declare war.

The federal government has no authority under the Constitution to impose mask mandates.

HR 5860 Continuing Resolution (Passed 88 to 9 on 9/30/2023, Roll Call 247). Appropriates federal funding at bloated fiscal 2023 levels. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

It is unconstitutional to force vaccinations on people.

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to S 2226 Declaration of War (Rejected 16 to 83 on 7/19/2023, Roll Call 191). Recognizes that the North Atlantic Treaty “does not supersede the constitutional requirement that Congress declare war.” See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

H J Res 44 ATF Firearm Brace Rule (Rejected 49 to 50 on 6/22/2023, Roll Call 171). Formally disapproves of an unconstitutional ATF rule expanding the definition of a “short-barreled rifle.” See U.S. Const., amend. 2.

The federal government has no authority under the Constitution to implement environmental regulations. Furthermore, the EPA’s rule feeds right into the climate-change hoax and, by extension, the UN’s Agenda 2030, and would impose onerous regulations on businesses.

Sen. Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to HR 3746 Spending Reductions (Rejected 21 to 75 on 6/1/2023, Roll Call 136). Decreases federal spending from $4.8 to $3.9 trillion over four years. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

HR 3746 Bipartisan Debt-limit Deal (Passed 63 to 36 on 6/1/2023, Roll Call 146). Suspends the debt limit through January 1, 2025 and create caps on “discretionary” spending for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, among many other dubious changes. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

The claim that the ERA is a “valid … part of the Constitution” is a sham. When Congress submitted the ERA to the states for ratification in 1972, it set a seven-year ratification period that ended on March 22, 1979. During that period, 35 states ratified the ERA, but four of those states reconsidered and rescinded their ratifications. This left the ERA seven states short of the three-fourths majority (38 states) needed to become part of the Constitution. Prior to the deadline, when it became apparent the 38-state threshold would not be reached, Congress extended the deadline to June 30, 1982. This legally dubious extension caused a fifth state to rescind, and during the extension period no new states ratified. In recent years, three new states have ratified the ERA. But to claim that this makes the ERA part of the Constitution is to ignore the long-expired deadlines, as well as the five states that rescinded.

S 870 Federal Firefighter Grants (Passed 95 to 2 on 4/20/2023, Roll Call 94). Unconstitutionally authorizes $95 million annually through fiscal 2030 for the USFA, increasing funding levels by 24 percent. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

S J Res 10 Abortion (Rejected 48 to 51 on 4/19/2023, Roll Call 90). Overturns the Department of Veterans Affairs rule allowing medical coverage for abortion counseling and procedures. See U.S. Const., amends. 5 & 14.

Both federal water regulations and the EPA are unconstitutional, and if the latest Biden administration rule were allowed to stand, activities such as farming and real estate development would be greatly hampered, since farmers and developers would be subject to increased unconstitutional permit requirements and fines concerning their treatment of almost any body of water, no matter how small.

It is unconstitutional to suspend the Constitution by declaring national public-health emergencies.

In recent decades both the Executive Branch and Congress have regularly skirted the constitutional requirement in Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution that treaties have to be made with the “Advice and Consent of the Senate … provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.” Instead of recognizing agreements as treaties, they unconstitutionally designate them as “executive agreements,” thereby enabling the president and Congress to avoid seeking the advice and consent of the Senate and pass them by a simple majority of the House and Senate, rather than the more rigorous threshold of two-thirds of the senators present.

Senator Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) amendment to S 316 2001 AUMF Repeal (Rejected 9 to 86 on 3/22/2023, Roll Call 65). Repeals the unconstitutional 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.

H J Res 30 ESG Fiduciary Rule (Passed 50 to 46 on 3/1/2023, Roll Call 35). Overturns the Labor Department's rule allowing retirement-plan fiduciaries to use ESG. See U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8.
