In Committee

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 changes the Rules of the House of Representatives. It sets a new voting requirement for punishing members of the House. Specifically, it requires a supermajority vote to censure, disapprove of, or remove a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner from a committee. The required vote is at least 60 percent of the Members voting, as long as a quorum is present. This rule applies to actions taken against elected officials in the House.
