Among other votes, <a href=\"https:\/\/jasonsmith.house.gov\/\">Representative Smith<\/a> is trying to return choices that the federal government tried to take away back to American parents.<\/p>\n<h3>Impeachment<\/h3>\n<p>Every House Republican voted to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Americans deserve to know whether their president is corrupt or compromised.<\/p>\n<h3>H.R. 1147<\/h3>\n<p>What type of milk should schoolchildren receive for lunch? The federal government, coming from Biden, proposed limiting school lunch milk options to only fat-free or low-fat types of milk and prohibiting students from drinking flavored milk until high school. This house resolution ensures that parents and students who participate in school lunch programs are offered various milk options including flavored and unflavored whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free, and lactose-free milk options. Representative Smith voted yes. This passed.<\/p>\n<h3>H.R. 5378<\/h3>\n<p>This resolution enacts a series of provisions to increase price transparency in health care, decrease health care costs, extend certain health care programs, and increase access to health information.
