Bill > HRes906

This resolution amends the Rules of the House of Representatives to increase the threshold for censuring, disapproving, or removing a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner from a committee. Currently, such actions likely require a simple majority vote, but this resolution would require a supermajority of 60 percent of voting Members (with a quorum present) to approve such measures. In practical terms, this means that instead of needing just over 50% of votes to censure or remove a member from a committee, 60% of those voting would need to support the action. This change could make it more difficult to discipline or remove a member of Congress, potentially providing additional protection for members facing potential disciplinary actions. The resolution specifically applies to Members, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners, which are different types of representatives in the House of Representatives, and would apply to votes on censure (formal condemnation), disapproval, or removal from committee assignments.
