Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to limit the privileged status of a motion causing a vacancy in the Office of Speaker to motions offered by direction of not fewer than 112 Members from the majority party or 112 Members from the minority party.
HRES 826 is a procedural resolution that amends House Rule IX to change how motions to vacate the Speaker's position are handled. It requires that any such motion must be offered by direction of at least 112 members from the majority party *or* 112 members from the minority party to gain privileged status (meaning it would be considered immediately without debate). This rule change directly affects House members who might propose a motion to remove the Speaker, making it harder to bring such a motion to the floor without significant support from one party. The bill does not create new policy but alters the procedural rules governing leadership challenges in the House.
