HOUSE RULES-AMEND

This bill amends House Rule 59 to increase the vote threshold required for a "previous question" motion from 60 to 71 members. The previous question is a procedural motion used to end debate and force an immediate vote on a pending bill or amendment. The change directly affects House members during floor debates, requiring a larger supermajority to cut off discussion and move to a vote. This is a procedural rule change impacting internal House voting mechanics, not a substantive policy.
