Do Our Job Act

HR 8840, the "Do Our Job Act," amends House rules to require timely action on regular federal budget bills. It prevents the House from waiving the requirement to complete consideration of annual spending bills by December 31, blocking rules that would allow extended breaks or pro forma sessions beyond July 1. The bill creates a new procedural point of order: if a rule tries to waive this deadline, the Chair must immediately put the question to a vote after 10 minutes of debate for both sides. This directly affects House members and leadership by making it harder to delay or avoid final votes on funding bills through procedural tactics.
