Bill > HRes391

This resolution establishes the procedural rules for considering House Joint Resolution 72, which relates to a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025. The resolution allows the House to immediately proceed with the joint resolution's consideration, waiving all points of order against the resolution and its provisions. The debate will be limited to one hour, equally divided between the Chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (or their designees), and will conclude with a final passage vote. The resolution also suspends certain House rules (specifically clauses 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX) that might otherwise apply to the resolution's consideration. Additionally, the resolution requires the House Clerk to transmit the passed joint resolution to the Senate within one week of its passage, ensuring prompt communication between the chambers of Congress about this national emergency matter.
