Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This House Rules resolution (H.
Res. 1032) sets procedures for floor consideration of three measures: the Senate amendments to H.R. 7148 (further consolidated appropriations for FY2026), H.J. Res. 142 (a joint resolution disapproving a District of Columbia tax conformity temporary amendment), and H.R. 4090 (to codify certain Executive Order provisions on domestic mining/hardrock minerals).
For each item the resolution waives specified points of order, establishes that texts be considered as read, and allocates fixed debate times (generally one hour) equally divided between majority and minority managers, with limited amendment opportunities and a single motion to recommit where allowed.
As a House floor rule, it is not a statute and will not become law; it is, however, likely to be adopted by the House majority.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed House procedural resolution that clearly defines its purpose and prescribes detailed, customary mechanisms for floor consideration of the named measures.
Process vs. substance: liberals stress curtailed oversight; conservatives praise efficiency.
Process vs. substance: liberals stress curtailed oversight; conservatives praise efficiency.
Likely skeptical of this rules package.
They will view rapid consideration and multiple waivers of points of order as limiting oversight and amendment, and they may object to using the floor to disapprove a D.C. local tax action and to codifying mining-friendly executive actions without fuller review.
They may still favor timely appropriations but resent curtailed debate.
Cautiously supportive of using a structured rule to advance must-pass appropriations, but concerned about broad waivers of points of order and constrained amendment processes.
They will weigh efficiency and government funding continuity against transparency and adequate floor scrutiny.
Likely supportive, viewing the rule as an efficient method to enact appropriations and to advance legislation codifying pro‑domestic‑mining executive actions.
Conservatives may also welcome the opportunity to overturn D.C. Council action through the joint resolution and will appreciate limits on dilatory tactics.
