The introduced bill text says Mr. McCormick introduced H.R.9084 and that it would debar from Federal employment witnesses who refuse pertinent questions or are finally convicted of perjury before Congress.
Assessments
McCormick sponsored H.R.9084, the STOP the SWAMP Act, in the 118th Congress on July 22, 2024, and the bill matched the promised oversight/accountability policy. However, it remained at the introduced/referral stage and did not pass before the 118th Congress ended. This counts as a serious legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised outcome.
