H.RES. 1336 — Waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules.
Executive Summary
This resolution provides a 'same-day rule' waiver, allowing the House majority to bypass the standard two-thirds vote requirement to consider a Rules Committee report on the same day it is presented. Specifically, it expedites the consideration of a budget reconciliation measure tied to title II of S. Con. Res. 33 through June 5, 2026. The Rules Committee adopted this measure on a strict 6-3 party-line vote, reflecting the majority's intent to fast-track their reconciliation package without minority procedural delays.
Arguments For
- Procedural Efficiency: Allows the majority to swiftly move a critical budget reconciliation package to the floor without waiting the standard layover period, maximizing floor time.
- Political Momentum: Prevents the minority from using procedural hurdles to stall a major legislative priority, ensuring the reconciliation bill maintains momentum.
Likely Supporters
Arguments Against
- Erosion of Regular Order: The minority argues this bypasses standard transparency and review periods, forcing members to vote on complex reconciliation rules with little to no notice.
- Partisan Ramrodding: As evidenced by the 6-3 party-line committee vote, this maneuver is viewed as a heavy-handed tactic that shuts out minority input and debate.
