MEMBERS Resolution
HRES 761, the "MEMBERS Resolution," would amend House rules to require that only current or newly elected House members (including Delegates and Resident Commissioners) can be nominated as Speaker. This procedural change directly affects potential Speaker candidates by excluding non-members, such as Senators or former representatives, from nomination eligibility. The bill does not alter the election process but sets a new requirement for who qualifies to be put forward for the Speakership.
