# VAN HOLLEN, CHRIS

Office: S MD
Record label: Disqualifying vote on record
Tier 2 scale: 41.10

## Past floor votes

Past floor votes on life and on children count at a disclosed prudential weight. A vote in the prior Congress counts at 0.5. A vote two Congresses back counts at 0.25. Nothing older is scored. The weight counts toward the lane minimum: the votes add their weights, not one full vote each. An absence, or a present, on a bill that defends life or children still counts, at that same reduced weight. An absence on a bill that expands abortion does not. Scripture gives no half-life for sin. Recent conduct is better evidence of how a member uses the office now. The numbers 0.5 and 0.25, and the two-Congress limit, are chosen numbers, open to revision. Decay changes the score only. Whether a cap applies does not decay.

- Nay on S.J.Res. 10 (118th Congress, senate roll 90). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Yea on the motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 10 is protective. The resolution would disapprove the VA abortion rule. 118th Congress decay 0.5. The motion weight is the published cloture weight.
