Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution sets the House rules for floor consideration of two consolidated FY2026 appropriations bills (H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147).
It waives points of order, limits debate, prescribes which amendments may be offered, directs how texts are to be combined in engrossment, and adopts an earlier House Resolution as amended.
The resolution also restricts when the Clerk may notify the Senate of passage and permits technical corrections in the engrossment.
Procedural rule makes House consideration likely, but ultimate enactment depends on negotiation of large, fiscally significant appropriations in the Senate and possible conference.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused House rules resolution that provides clear, specific, and enforceable procedures for floor consideration and engrossment of H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147.

Viewed skeptically: it expedites consideration but limits amendment opportunities and waives points of order.
Concern centers on reduced transparency and curtailed minority input during major spending decisions.
Seen as a pragmatic rules package to handle complex appropriations quickly, but with legitimate tradeoffs.
Acceptable if transparency and scoring accompany the process to ensure fiscal and procedural accountability.
Generally favorable because it streamlines passage and prevents procedural obstruction.
Caution that consolidation could carry unwanted liberal provisions; desires control over final spending levels and priorities.
