Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J.Res.4) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that debate upon legislation pending before the Senate may not be brought to a close without the concurrence of a minimum of three-fifths of the Senators.
HRES 730 is a procedural resolution allowing the U.S. House of Representatives to immediately consider H.J.Res. 4, a proposed constitutional amendment. This resolution waives typical procedural delays, sets one hour of debate (split equally between supporters and opponents), and specifies that the amendment must be voted on without further amendments. It does not change Senate rules itself but enables the House to advance H.J.Res. 4, which would require 60 senators (three-fifths) to end debate on legislation in the Senate - a change to the Constitution. The resolution affects only the House's process for handling this specific constitutional proposal.
