HRES 906: Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require a supermajority vote of Members present and voting to subject a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner to the censure or disapproval of the House, or removal from committee membership.

HRES 906 would change House rules to require a 60% vote of members present and voting to censure, disapprove, or remove any House member, delegate, or resident commissioner from committee assignments. Currently, a simple majority (50%+1) could trigger these actions, but this bill raises the threshold to a supermajority. The change applies directly to all voting members of the House and affects disciplinary procedures for members. This is a procedural rule change that makes it harder to take formal disciplinary actions against House members.
