Summary

The House cannot take up any rule or order that waives the effect of section 658d. These rules apply only to the House of Representatives. If a member objects under section 658d or this rule, they must point to the exact words they are challenging. The Chair will ask the House to vote on whether to consider the item being challenged. Each member who raised an objection gets 10 minutes to speak, and each opposing member gets 10 minutes for each objection. No other motions can interrupt, except to adjourn or to have the Committee of the Whole rise. A decision about considering a bill or joint resolution also covers any amendment that is made in order as original text.
