Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This House resolution (H.
Res. 122) provides for consideration of H.R. 77, which would amend chapter 8 of title 5 to allow en bloc consideration in resolutions of disapproval for so-called “midnight rules.” The resolution waives all points of order against consideration and against provisions in the bill, treats the bill as read, limits debate to one hour divided between Committee on the Judiciary leaders, and allows one motion to recommit.
It is a procedural rule governing floor consideration, not the substantive text of H.R. 77 itself.
Procedural rule likely to pass House; the substantive bill faces greater resistance in Senate and potential veto, making final enactment uncertain.
How solid the drafting looks.
Left emphasizes risks to protections; right emphasizes restoring oversight
Left emphasizes risks to protections; right emphasizes restoring oversight
Likely skeptical: views this resolution as fast-tracking a bill that would make it easier to overturn late administrative rules.
Concerns focus on weakening agency safeguards and curtailing deliberation; specific impacts depend on H.R. 77's full text (uncertain).
Views the resolution as a procedural measure with tradeoffs: it can improve congressional clarity and timeliness, but waiving points of order and limited debate risks insufficient review.
Support or opposition depends on guardrails in H.R. 77 (uncertain).
Generally favorable: sees the resolution enabling H.R. 77 as a useful tool to prevent outgoing administrations from locking in burdensome regulations.
Views it as restoring congressional oversight; precise effects depend on H.R. 77 language (uncertain).
