Introduced

Summary

Expedited House consideration of a constitutional amendment to require a three-fifths cloture rule in the Senate. This resolution would fast-track consideration of H.J. Res. 4 by waiving points of order and limiting debate on the House floor.

Show full summary
  • House members: The resolution would limit debate on H.J. Res. 4 to one hour split between Representative Fitzpatrick (or a designee) and an opponent, allow only one motion to recommit, and waive most points of order. This creates a short, controlled window for floor debate and amendments.
  • Senate and the legislative process: H.J. Res. 4 would propose a constitutional amendment stating that debate on Senate legislation may not be brought to a close without the concurrence of at least three-fifths of Senators. That change would set a clear, fixed threshold for ending debate in the Senate.
