Clyde has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
01
Supports removing items from National Firearms ActClyde sponsored the SHORT Act (H.R.2395), a reintroduced bill with 50 to 99 cosponsors in committee, which would remove certain items—such as short-barreled rifles and shotguns—from the regulatory scope of the National Firearms Act. He also sponsored H.R.6734, the Stopping Unconstitutional Background Checks Act, which attracted 100 to 199 cosponsors and would limit the application of federal background check requirements.
02
Uses Congressional Review Act to overturn agency rulesClyde sponsored H.J.Res.26 and H.J.Res.42, both of which were enacted into law. H.J.Res.26 disapproved an action by the District of Columbia Council, and H.J.Res.42 provided for congressional disapproval of a federal rule under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code. Both resolutions exercised the authority of Congress to nullify specific governmental actions.
03
Voted against continuing appropriations measuresClyde voted against H.R.6363, the Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024, and H.R.7463, the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024, both of which became law. In each case, his vote was against the majority of his party in the House.
04
Voted against aviation and transportation extension billsClyde voted against H.R.6503, H.R.7454, and H.R.8289—successive Airport and Airway Extension Acts covering 2023 and 2024—each of which became law. These votes were cast against his party's majority position in the House on each occasion.
05
Voted against Social Security and federal benefits legislationClyde voted against H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, which became law, and S.3427, the Overtime Pay for Protective Services Act of 2023, also enacted. Both votes were against the majority of his party in the House.
