A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution seeks to change how questions of privilege are handled in the House of Representatives during the remainder of the 119th Congress. It focuses on resolutions offered from the floor regarding the conduct of any Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner. Under this rule, the Chair would not be able to entertain such resolutions unless they have specific support. Specifically, a resolution must have one-fifth of the total House membership as cosponsors at the time it is offered. Additionally, any announcement of intent to offer such a resolution requires that it maintains at least one-fifth of the membership as cosponsors for one legislative day.

The opposite

  • Does this make what the government does easier for the public to see?-2

    The bill creates higher barriers for introducing resolutions regarding Member conduct, which may reduce the frequency of public floor debates on such matters.
