Voting analysis

John Rose is absent from more House roll calls than most members, and three of his eight departures concern a single surveillance bill — including a vote against the resolution that would have brought it to the floor.

Blocking a bill before it arrives

Voting down a rule is the earliest point at which a member can stop something, and it is the vote leadership guards most closely. He did it on a surveillance measure, then opposed an amendment attached to the same effort and the extension itself. Whatever the merits, the sequence is consistent and it was aimed at the process rather than only at the text.

The rest is amendment work across three spending vehicles, plus one completed bill on servicemembers' religious heritage that he opposed.
