Majority Rule Resolution

This resolution would change how Congress ends debate. It says that in both the House and the Senate, ending debate can’t require more than a simple majority of members who vote, as long as enough members are present to do business . In short, more than half of those voting could agree to stop talking and move to a vote. The official title describes it as setting procedures for bringing debate to a close in both chambers .

• This could make it faster to hold votes once a majority is ready to decide.
• It focuses only on the threshold to end debate, not on the outcomes of the votes themselves .
