Evidence

Congress.gov says the bill would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency, and its latest action was House passage by 219-210 (Roll no. 201).

This is concrete progress toward the promise, but it is not final enactment; the House approved a CBDC prohibition bill.

Congress.gov lists the Senate companion as introduced on 2025-03-25 and referred to Banking, with no later action shown.

The Senate companion remained stuck at introduction and committee referral, so the prohibition was still unresolved in the Senate.

The engrossed House text would bar a Federal Reserve bank from issuing a central bank digital currency and from offering one indirectly through an intermediary.

H.R. 1919 matches the promise's substance, including both direct and indirect CBDC issuance restrictions, but the text shown was only House-engrossed legislation.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 1919 as Passed House, with House passage on July 17, 2025 by 219-210, but not Passed Senate or Became Law.

The House advanced the CBDC prohibition bill, but Congress.gov does not show enactment, so this is progress rather than full fulfillment.

Congress.gov lists S. 1124 as Introduced, with latest action on March 25, 2025: read twice and referred to the Senate Banking Committee.

The Senate companion had not passed the Senate or become law, leaving the statutory prohibition unresolved.

Executive Order 14178 states that agencies are prohibited, except as required by law, from actions to establish, issue, or promote CBDCs.

The executive order creates an executive-branch CBDC restriction, but it is not Rogers' legislative action and does not enact the H.R. 1919 Federal Reserve Act amendments.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Rogers materially supported a bill matching the promise: H.R. 1919 would prohibit Federal Reserve CBDC issuance directly to individuals and through intermediaries, and he voted yea when it passed the House on July 17, 2025. However, the measure has not passed the Senate or become law, and the Senate companion remains only introduced/referred. Executive Order 14178 restricts executive-branch CBDC activity, but it is not Rogers' legislation and does not enact the promised Federal Reserve statutory prohibition. The promise is therefore not fully delivered, but Rogers receives partial same-term credit for concrete House passage support and an effort badge for a serious legislative attempt.

partial same_term A for effort

Harold Rogers appears to deserve partial credit, not full delivery. In the 119th Congress he was a cosponsor of H.R. 1919, which would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency and passed the House on July 17, 2025. That is meaningful same-term legislative progress and shows direct candidate contribution. But the promised outcome was not fully delivered because the prohibition had not been enacted into federal law; the Senate companion S. 1124 was introduced on March 25, 2025 and remained referred to committee with no further action. Under a federal legislative standard, House passage alone is not fulfillment of the promise, but Rogers' cosponsorship and advancement of the measure justify partial credit and an effort badge.
