Pursuant to the provisions of H. Res. 294, H. Res. 164 is laid on the table.
This resolution sets the House floor procedure for taking up H.Res.23. It immediately brings H.Res.23 to the House floor without allowing points of order to stop consideration and treats the resolution as read. It also orders the previous question so the House will vote on adoption after up to one hour of debate split equally. The resolution waives Clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX for this consideration.
This is a House procedural rule that limits debate to one hour equally divided, bars points of order against taking up the measure, and waives a specific House rule; it only governs how the House will consider H.Res.23 and does not create law or require Senate or Presidential action.
This resolution is a House Rules motion to bring H.
Res. 23 (which would permit parental remote voting by proxy) directly to the floor for an up-or-down disposition.
It sets debate at one hour, equally divided and controlled by the Rules Committee chair and ranking member, waives intervening motions or points of order, and exempts clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX from applying to consideration of H.
This is a House internal procedural resolution to schedule floor consideration, not a statute; it does not become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this special-rule resolution is well-constructed: it clearly states its purpose and specifies concrete procedural mechanics, timing, and responsible parties. It appropriately integrates with House rules by waiving a particular clause and limits intervening motions while delegating debate control.

Liberals stress procedural scrutiny and accountability concerns
Cautiously mixed: supportive of family-friendly voting access in principle, but concerned about the fast-tracked process and waived safeguards.
Wants substantive protections and oversight before endorsing proxy-voting changes.
Pragmatic: appreciates efficient floor consideration and balanced debate time but worries about waivers and limited amendment opportunities.
Will judge mostly on H.
Res. 23's details.
Generally favorable: values efficient consideration and supports enabling members with parental responsibilities to participate.
Sees the rule as a useful procedural vehicle to pass H.
Res. 23 quickly.
