AI Summary
This Resolution sets the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives: H.R. 2, which aims to remove federal government obstacles to producing and transporting domestic energy to lower consumer costs and support American jobs, and H.R. 4, which seeks to revise federal law to foster economic growth and job creation. The resolution waives all objections to considering these bills and their provisions, allowing them to be debated for two hours equally divided between the majority and minority parties and then moved to a final vote with only one motion to recommit allowed. Additionally, it outlines procedures for legislative days between September 22, 2014, and November 11, 2014, including how the House will adjourn and the Speaker's authority to appoint members to perform the duties of the Chair, while also specifying that days during this period will not count towards certain deadlines under the War Powers Resolution and House rules.
