GovTrack confirms H.Res. 935 still has one Democratic cosponsor — Rep. Al Green of Texas, who signed on January 15 — plus primary sponsor Shri Thanedar of Michigan. [1] Rep. Yassamin Ansari's parallel resolution, which she introduced April 15 with 12 original Democratic cosponsors, still carries zero Republican signers. [2][3] Day 7 since the Ansari filing passed Tuesday without movement. The paper declared Day 6 the dormancy threshold in Monday's edition; Day 7 is the day the thread-tracker discipline requires naming what did not happen.

It did not happen. No Republican has cosponsored either resolution. No House Judiciary Committee hearing has been scheduled. No floor vote has been set. Neither Speaker Johnson nor Majority Leader Scalise has spoken on either resolution in the public record since the Ansari launch. [2]

The mechanics are straightforward. H.Res. 935 was introduced by Thanedar in late 2025 after the Hegseth-Signal boat-strike incident; it gained exactly one Democratic cosponsor (Green) in January 2026 and sat in the House Judiciary Committee since. [1] Ansari's April 15 resolution, introduced with eight original Democratic cosponsors — Cohen, Crockett, Williams, Titus, Min, Thanedar, Pettersen, McBride — and a broader group of 12 by filing day including McBride, Underwood, Green, Stansbury, and Quigley, has attracted no additional signatures since. [2][3] The article count landed at six: unauthorized war against Iran, violations of the law of armed conflict, negligence in sensitive-information handling (Signalgate), obstruction of congressional oversight, abuse of power, and conduct bringing disrepute. [3][4]

That 12-to-zero partisan split is the operative fact. The Ansari resolution has more Democratic cosponsors than the Thanedar resolution; both have zero Republicans. The paper's Monday standard named Day 6 as the dormancy trigger by citing the structural marker that five consecutive weekdays without a Republican cosponsor, without a committee motion, and without a floor speech, qualifies the thread as dormant per the paper's own tracking rules. Day 7 has now passed.

What "dormant" means in the paper's idiom is specific. The thread does not disappear. Any Republican cosponsor, any committee motion, any floor speech by leadership naming the resolution, any administration response beyond the December "charade" statement from Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson — each reopens the thread. [5] Tuesday produced none of those. Wednesday is the ceasefire clock; Thursday is Israel-Lebanon at Foggy Bottom; Friday is the scheduled Senate recess window. Until an event pulls the resolution back into the news cycle, the paper's thread-tracker holds the thread at dormant.

Ansari told X followers before the filing that "the rhetoric has crossed every line" and that "Pete Hegseth is complicit" in "a devastating, illegal war." [3] The rhetorical case is on paper. The institutional case — a cosponsor list that reaches across the aisle — is not. That is the distinction dormancy captures.

The Iran ceasefire clock will either produce an extension, an MOU, or a return to kinetic operations by late Wednesday. Any of those reopens the thread; none of them is an event the impeachment drafters control.
