Bill Summary
Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 37) directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in the Republic of Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress; waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules; and providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules. This resolution sets forth the rule for consideration of H.J.Res. 37 (directing the removal of certain U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in the Republic of Yemen). The resolution waives a specified requirement of Rule XIII (Calendar and Committee Reports) to allow consideration of resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules through the legislative day of February 17, 2019, on the same day it is presented to the House, relating to measures making or continuing appropriations for FY2019. The resolution makes it in order at any time through the calendar day of February 17, 2019, for the Speaker of the House to suspend the rules. The chair of the Committee on Appropriations may insert in the Congressional Record by that date, such material as the chair may deem explanatory of such measures.
AI Summary
This Resolution establishes the rules for considering House Joint Resolution 37 (H.J. Res. 37), which aims to direct the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress. It waives certain procedural requirements, specifically a rule (clause 6(a) of rule XIII) that typically requires a two-thirds vote to consider reports from the Committee on Rules on the same day they are presented, allowing for the expedited consideration of resolutions related to appropriations for fiscal year 2019. Additionally, it permits the Speaker of the House to entertain motions to suspend the rules at any time through February 17, 2019, a process used for quickly passing legislation, and allows the chair of the Committee on Appropriations to insert explanatory material into the Congressional Record regarding appropriations measures by that date.
