AI Summary
This resolution sets the rules for considering House Joint Resolution 4, which proposes a constitutional amendment to change Senate debate procedures. Specifically, the resolution establishes that when the House considers this joint resolution, all points of order against its consideration are waived, and an amendment in the nature of a substitute (proposed by Representative Fitzpatrick) will be automatically adopted. The resolution allows for one hour of debate, equally divided between Representative Fitzpatrick (or a designee) and an opponent, and permits one motion to recommit. Additionally, it suspends a specific rule (Clause 1(c) of rule XIX) that would normally apply to the resolution's consideration. If multiple amendments are submitted by Representative Fitzpatrick, only the last submitted amendment will be considered adopted. This procedural resolution is designed to streamline the consideration of a proposed constitutional amendment that would require a three-fifths majority of Senators to end debate on pending legislation, effectively modifying the current Senate filibuster rules.
