Summary

What the bill does

This resolution sets the rules for debating a bill that would let Congress vote on several rules from the last months of a president's term all at once, instead of one by one. It waives objections that might slow down the process and limits debate to one hour.

Why it matters

The stakes

This affects how Congress can overturn rules made by a departing president. The outcome could make it easier or harder to block last-minute regulations.

  • It ensures that rules rushed through at the end of a presidency get closer scrutiny by allowing en bloc disapproval.report
Critics
  • It limits debate and waives points of order, reducing the opportunity for thorough discussion and amendment.bill
  • Grouping rules together could force members to vote on a package that includes both good and bad rules, preventing careful consideration of each.report
