HCONRES 6 United States House · 119th Congress

Majority Rule Resolution

This bill would change congressional procedure by requiring that a simple majority (more than 50%) of voting members, with a quorum present, can end debate on any bill or resolution in either the House or Senate. It directly affects how Congress conducts its legislative business by overriding current rules that often require supermajorities (like 60 votes in the Senate) to end debate. The resolution would become part of the House and Senate rules, taking precedence over existing procedures for ending debate on specific bills or resolutions. This is a procedural change only, not a policy measure affecting public programs or funding.
