following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs 
,,resolution  ,expressing support for   
the ,haitian people and their           
,constitution1 rule of law1 and

 the ,president of the ,republic of     
,haiti has nominated a new head of      
,government 7a ,prime ,minister7 along  
with a cabinet1 while consulting with   
the presidents of both chambers of the  
,parliament1 in accordance with the     
,constitution of ,haiti2 ,whereas in    
order to get sworn in1 the ,prime       
,minister has to get his general        
political plan approved by a simple     
majority in each of the two chambers of 
,parliament2 ,whereas the lower chamber 
has approved that general political plan
 on ,september #c1 #bjai1 with a        

majority vote2 ,whereas1 on ,september  
#aa1 #bjai1 the ,senate was to hold a   
session to hear the general political   
plan of ,mr4 ,michel1 where the         
,senators needed to approve or reject it
 in order to form a government2 ,whereas
 the ,parliament was vandalized for the 
second time this year to prevent the    
session from happening2 ,whereas these  
individuals intended to intimidate and  
create a chaotic environment2 ,whereas  
without a new functioning government1 a 
budget cannot be passed1 midterm        
elections cannot be organized1 new      
agreements with international financial 
institutions 7such as the ,international
 ,monetary ,fund and the                
,inter-,american ,development ,bank7    
cannot be finalized1 and many urgent    
matters cannot be addressed2 ,whereas in
 ,january of #bjbj1 the term for the    
entire lower chamber and #b_/c of the   
,senate will expire1 and the ,president

democracy in ,haiti is in peril because 

of the actions of a few1 which affect   
the short-term and long-term interests  
of all ,haitians3 ,now1 therefore1 be it
  ,that the ,house of ,representatives--
