House would set special rules to debate a bill that cuts government funds.
This resolution would set special rules for the House of Representatives to consider H.R. 4, a bill aimed at canceling certain government funds proposed by the President. It would limit debate time and waive procedural challenges, making it easier for H.R. 4 to pass. This means House members would have less time to discuss and amend the bill.
Today, bills in the House are subject to standard rules for debate, amendments, and procedural challenges. If this resolution passes, the House would consider H.R. 4 under special, expedited rules, including waiving all procedural challenges, limiting debate to one hour, and allowing only one motion to send the bill back to committee. Also, a specific part of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Section 1017) would not apply to bills related to the President's June 3, 2025, message about cutting funds.
