Roll call · H.J.Res. 41 · 2017

Repeal oil/gas payment disclosure

Killed the rule making oil and mining firms disclose payments to governments. A yes vote backed industry secrecy.

What happened

This was a straight up-or-down vote. With more Yeas than Nays (52–47), it passed.

The tally

52 Yea · 47 Nay · 1 didn't vote. Officially recorded as “Passed 52-47.”

Did the no-shows matter?

Edward Markey (D-MA) sat it out. It wouldn't have changed the result. Even if all 1 had voted Nay, it still passes.

Party split

Yea: 52 Republicans. Nay: 45 Democrats, 2 Independents.

Crossed party lines

None. Every senator voted with their party.
