Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Senate's current cloture and filibuster rules are contrary to the constitutional design of two co-equal majoritarian legislative bodies, are non-deliberative in practice, disenfranchise Members of the House of Representatives and their constituents, and disrupt the proper balance of powers between the two chambers of Congress, and for other purposes.

Introduced
Summary
This bill would push to restore majority rule in Congress. It finds the Senate filibuster has become a procedural veto that lets a 41-senator minority block floor votes without sustained debate and urges the Senate to reform or end cloture and filibuster rules so House-passed measures get timely consideration.
