Introduced on January 3, 2025 by Michelle Fischbach
This measure sets the House’s rules for this Congress. It makes it harder to remove the Speaker by requiring a member of the majority party plus eight more from that party to bring up a removal vote. It limits when the House can fast‑track votes to Monday through Wednesday. It also keeps amendments on‑topic, blocks consideration of bills that would create too much long‑term budget cost (as judged by the Congressional Budget Office), and allows committees to use electronic voting. Non‑executive branch witnesses and their lawyers can appear remotely in committee hearings. The measure closes the House Office of Diversity and Inclusion and ends some collective bargaining rights for House employees. It also renews certain panels on competition with China and on human rights, and renames the House’s democracy assistance program as the House Democracy Partnership .
