Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 7) to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in the Republic of Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress; providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 271) Condemning the Trump Administration's Legal Campaign to Take Away Americans' Health Care; and providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules. This resolution sets forth the rule for consideration of S.J.Res. 7 (demanding the removal of unauthorized U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in the Republic of Yemen) and H.Res. 271(condemning the Trump Administration's Legal Campaign to Take Away Americans' Health Care). It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of April 4, 2019, for the Speaker of the House to suspend the rules.

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for debating and voting on two specific pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives: S.J. Res. 7, which aims to direct the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Yemen that haven't been authorized by Congress, and H. Res. 271, which condemns the Trump Administration's efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare. The resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," to allow for swift consideration of these measures, limiting debate to one hour for each and allowing for only one motion to commit before a final vote. Additionally, it permits the Speaker of the House to consider motions to suspend the rules at any time on April 4, 2019, a process typically used for non-controversial legislation but here extended to allow for consideration of other matters.
