hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Sets rules for House votes on three key bills.
Mr. Jack (R, [State not specified]), House Rules Committee.
Reported to the House Calendar, awaiting full House vote.
This resolution, introduced by Mr. Jack from the House Rules Committee, dictates how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on three important pieces of legislation: a major government spending bill, a resolution to overturn a Washington D.C. tax law, and a bill regarding domestic mining. It has been reported out of committee and is now on the House Calendar, meaning it is ready for a vote by the full House of Representatives.
Introduced Feb 3, 2026
This resolution has been approved by the House Rules Committee and placed on the House Calendar. This means it is now ready for a vote by the full House of Representatives to decide whether to adopt these specific rules for debating the three underlying bills. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, it clears the way for the House to then consider H.R. 7148, H.J. Res. 142, and H.R. 4090 under the specified procedures.
If this resolution passes, the House will proceed to vote on the underlying bills. This could lead to the finalization of a large consolidated appropriations bill, which funds federal government operations through September 2026. Additionally, a resolution disapproving a D.C. tax law could pass, potentially overturning local tax changes for residents and businesses in the District of Columbia. Lastly, a bill to codify certain Executive Orders on domestic mining could be approved, establishing new permanent rules for how hardrock mineral resources are extracted in the U.S.
Supporters Say
Supporters argue it efficiently brings critical legislation to a vote, streamlining the legislative process.
Critics Say
Critics might argue it limits debate and amendment opportunities on the bills it covers by waiving procedural objections.
This type of resolution is essential for the House to manage its legislative agenda, allowing leadership to set the terms for debating specific bills. While supporters would emphasize the need to move important appropriations, District of Columbia oversight, and energy policy bills forward promptly, critics often raise concerns that resolutions like this can restrict open debate and prevent members from offering amendments to the underlying bills due to waived points of order.
