Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 14) establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034, and for other purposes.
Pursuant to the provisions of H.Res. 707, H.Res. 313 is amended.
This House resolution establishes rules to consider the Senate amendment to H.
Con.
Res. 14 (the FY2025 congressional budget), allowing a motion to concur, considered as read, with one hour of debate equally divided and no points of order.
The resolution is likely adoptable in the House but is not a public law; the statutory-counting clause cannot by itself change federal law without both chambers and the President.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a well-specified procedural/agenda-setting measure. It clearly establishes the specific floor procedure for considering a Senate amendment to the congressional budget concurrent resolution and separately provides a narrowly tailored, time‑bound exclusion of calendar days for purposes of the National Emergencies Act.

- Targeted stakeholdersLimits minority participation by capping debate at one hour and restricting procedural objections.

- Targeted stakeholdersConcentrates influence with committee leadership, reducing wider member input on the budget vote.
Why the argument around this bill splits.
Whether excluding days under the NEA improperly delays congressional oversight
Views the rule as a procedural maneuver that limits scrutiny of both the budget and a specific national emergency termination.
Concerned that excluding days under the National Emergencies Act delays Congress's ability to terminate an emergency and reduces accountability.
Sees the resolution as pragmatic for moving a budget measure efficiently but worries about the carve‑out for the National Emergencies Act.
Balances value of orderly floor procedure against congressional oversight obligations.
Likely supportive because it streamlines House action on the budget and preserves the President's national emergency authorities by pausing the NEA termination clock.
Views as responsible governance and defense of executive tools.
