Bill > HRes943

This resolution establishes the procedural framework for considering House Joint Resolution 117 (H.J. Res. 117), which relates to a national emergency declared by the President on July 30, 2025. The resolution waives all points of order against the joint resolution's consideration and against its provisions, effectively streamlining the legislative process. It provides for one hour of debate equally divided between the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, allows one motion to recommit, and considers the previous question as ordered, which means the resolution will move directly to a vote. Additionally, the resolution suspends certain House rules (specifically clauses 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX) that might otherwise impede the resolution's consideration. After the House passes the joint resolution, the Clerk is required to transmit a message to the Senate within one calendar day, ensuring prompt communication of the House's action.
