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

Speeds up government funding and shortens a deadline for Congress.

This resolution would help Congress quickly approve a bill to keep the government funded for the upcoming budget year. It would also shorten a deadline for other House rules from March 31, 2026, to January 31, 2026, and speed up a resolution honoring Charles "Charlie" James Kirk.

What Would Change

Today, bills in the House of Representatives typically follow standard rules, allowing for potential objections (points of order), full readings, and longer debates. If this resolution is adopted, it would remove these procedural steps for a government funding bill and a resolution honoring Charles "Charlie" James Kirk, speeding up their consideration. It would also move up a deadline in other House rules from March 31, 2026, to January 31, 2026.
