 ,stauber1 and ,mr4 ,mann7 submitted the
 following resolution2 which was        
referred to the ,committee on ,foreign  
,affairs  ,,resolution  ,expressing the 
sense of the ,house of ,representatives 
that the ,united ,states should formally
 withdraw from the ,paris ,agreement4   
,whereas ,president ,obama unilaterally 
accepted the ,paris ,agreement in       
,august #bjaf under the ,united ,nations
 ,framework ,convention on ,climate     
,change1 rather than ratifying it as a  
treaty with the advice and consent of   
the ,senate1 a requirement stated in    
article ,,ii1 section #b of the         
,constitution2 ,whereas the agreement   
entered into force on ,november #d1     
#bjaf2 ,whereas1 on ,june #a1 #bjag1    
,president ,trump announced that the    

,united ,states would cease all         
implementation of the ,paris ,agreement2
 ,whereas1 on ,january #bj1 #bjba1      
,president ,biden followed ,president   
,obama's precedent by unilaterally      
rejoining the ,paris ,agreement without 
congressional consent2 ,whereas in      
addition to the ,united ,states having  
entered into the agreement without      
congressional approval1 burdensome      
regulatory measures will put the ,united
 ,states at a competitive disadvantage1 
costing ,american jobs and increasing   
energy costs for consumers and          
taxpayers2 ,whereas according to one    
report1 implementing policies to comply 
with the ,paris ,agreement will increase
 electricity costs for a family of #d   
between #ac and #bj percent annually2   
,whereas a cost-benefit analysis was not
 conducted at the time of commitments1  
and subsequent reports have found that  
meeting the commitments agreed to could 
cost the ,united ,states ,,gdp          
#bej1jjj1jjj1jjj and #b1gjj1jjj jobs by 

#bjbe2 ,whereas all #bh ,european ,union
 countries are falling short of their   
commitments under the ,paris ,agreement1
 and meanwhile1 the world's worst       
emitters1 ,china1 ,russia1 and ,india1  
are exempted from its requirements2     
,whereas according to the ,international
 ,energy ,agency1 the ,united ,states   
has seen the largest absolute decline in
 emissions among all countries since    
#bjjj2 ,whereas a recent study showed   
that the ,paris ,agreement will not have
 any meaningful impact on climate       
change1 reducing global average         
temperatures by just #j4jhf;,f in #bajj2
 ,whereas the ,united ,states is        
pioneering environmental protection     
without international interference1 is a
 world leader at reducing pollutants    
known to cause immediate harm to humans1
 and is ranked number one in the world  
for clean water1 according to the ,world
 ,health ,organization's airborne       
particulate matter standards and the    
,environmental ,protection ,agency2 and 

,whereas instead of binding the ,united 
,states to international agreements that
 put ,americans at a national security  
and economic disadvantage to its        
competitors abroad1 the ,united ,states 
should be focused on continuing to      
reduce emissions1 developing and        
exporting clean energy technologies1 and
 making its communities more resilient1 
all while ensuring affordable1 reliable 
energy prices and prioritizing the      
consumer1 ,american security1 and       
prosperity3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that
 the ,united ,states should formally    
resubmit its notification to withdraw   
from the ,paris ,agreement4
