David Valadao (R-Calif.) offered an amendment as a motion during a House floor debate on July 20, to recommit a legislative spending package (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/8294\/text\">H.R.8294<\/a>) consisting of six House appropriation bills for the fiscal year 2023. A \u201cmotion to recommit\u201d is a common procedural maneuver that allows the House minority party to amend a bill before a final vote for passage.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment was proposed by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. According to her proposal (<a href=\"https:\/\/amendments-rules.house.gov\/amendments\/071822_RCP117-55_01_xml220718095803034.pdf\">pdf<\/a>), petroleum would be banned from export to China and to any entity that does not certify that it is \u201cnot under the ownership, control, or influence of the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the motion was put to a vote, Valadao told his colleagues on the House floor that supporting the amendment was \u201ccommon sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to focus on increasing energy production and not supporting our adversaries while Americans are still suffering from outrageously high fuel prices here at home,\u201d Valadao <a href=\"https:\/\/valadao.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=377\">explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Valadao\u2019s plea for support, his motion was rejected following a <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2022382?Page=2\">219\u2013206 vote<\/a>, when House Democrats unanimously voted against it. Every House Republican voted in favor of the measure except five who didn\u2019t cast a vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single Democrat just voted to put China\u2019s national security over our own,\u201d Valadao <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepDavidValadao\/status\/1549819349170544640\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter following the result.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cathymcmorris\/status\/1549819559875584000\">took<\/a> to Twitter to criticize House Democrats, saying that \u201cthey\u2019re sacrificing America\u2019s energy security and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/07\/21\/GettyImages-1227112492-1200x808.jpg\"><\/a> Rep.
