(CNN) -

The U.S. House of Representatives is debating President Biden's $ 1.9 trillion covid-19 relief plan before a final vote on the bill.

If passed, it will go to the White House for enactment into law.

The package includes stimulus checks of up to $ 1,400 for some Americans, extends pandemic unemployment benefits and will send billions of dollars in aid to states and municipalities.


Action on the bill briefly stalled when Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for a motion to adjourn, a move she has repeatedly used to disrupt room hours and has frustrated even members of her own party.

The final vote on the motion to adjourn the session failed 149-235, with 40 Republicans voting against the motion.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed confidence in the final passage of the stimulus package bill, describing it as the "most comprehensive federal recovery package in recent history."
