House rule fails 214-217, opening floor vote to terminate Canada tariffs

On Feb. 10, 2026, the House rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's procedural rule 214-217 that would have blocked congressional votes to disapprove Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian imports through July 31. Three Republicans — Thomas Massie (KY), Kevin Kiley (CA), and Don Bacon (NE) — voted with all Democrats, marking Johnson's seventh rule failure as Speaker. The next day, the House passed Rep. Gregory Meeks's privileged resolution 219-211 to terminate the national emergency underlying the Canada tariffs, with six Republicans joining all but one Democrat.
