Question: Last Year Illinois House Had A Bush Impeachment Resolution

[orleans]

and i looked it up and the last entry is 1/9/07 and says "Session Sine Die"

anyone know what that means?

the action listed before that was in may of last year when another co-sponsor was added (there are 20 co-sponsors on this bill)

2. It's amazing what you can find if you look-

SINE DIE - Lat. The final adjournment of a legislative session, without adjourning to a specific time or date; Adjournment without definitely fixing a day for reconvening; literally "adjournment without a day." Usually used to connote the final adjournment of a session of Congress or State Legislature. A congressional session can continue until noon, January 3, of the following year, when, under the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, it automatically terminates. Both houses must agree to a concurrent resolution for either house to adjourn for more than three days.

Without day. A judgment for a defendant in many cases is quod eat sine die, that he may go without day. While the cause is pending and undeter-mined, it may be continued from term to term by dies datus. When the court or other body rise at the end of a session or term they adjourn sine die.

3. i saw that. but i didn't get it. does this mean the resolution is dead?

or can they still move on it? can it get carried into the next session?

i get that it is the end of a leglislative session. i saw that "without day" business.

but i still don't know what it means specifically to a "resolution" ? that i couldn't find.

4. My guess is that it is dead and would have to be brought up

again in a new session.
