House Democrats are pressing Speaker Mike Johnson to restore what they describe as the longstanding bipartisan framework behind the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act, arguing that a Republican-amended version of the bill undermines both the museum’s original purpose and its legislative foundation. According to a letter led by Congressman John Garamendi alongside House Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Teresa Leger Fernández, Executive Steering Committee Members Judy Chu and Debbie Dingell, and 145 additional Democratic Women’s Caucus members and House Democrats, support for the bill now depends on Republicans reinstating the earlier bipartisan approach and pairing it again with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino Act.
