60% vote needed to censure members
If adopted, this resolution would require at least 60% of Members voting, with a quorum present, to approve any resolution to censure, disapprove, or remove a Member, Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner from committee assignments. Absent that 60% vote (with a quorum), the House could not take those disciplinary actions under this rule change. This would make censure, disapproval, and committee removals harder and give more procedural protection to sitting House members. The change would be an internal amendment to Rule XVII of the House rules.
