Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

House would make it harder to remove Speaker, require members to pay for discrimination, and fast-track specific bills.

This resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will work for the next two years. It would make it more difficult to remove the Speaker of the House and require House members to personally pay back the Treasury for discrimination settlements. The resolution also ends remote voting by proxy and fast-tracks votes on several specific bills covering topics like Title IX, immigration, and fentanyl.

What Would Change

Today, the House operates under the rules of the previous Congress, and removing a Speaker can be initiated by a single member. After this bill, the House would operate under new rules for the next two years, and a resolution to remove the Speaker would require eight co-sponsors from the majority party. Also, currently, members are not explicitly required to personally pay for discrimination settlements, but this bill would change that, requiring them to reimburse the Treasury for such costs.
