HCONRES 111 United States House · 118th Congress

Majority Rule Resolution

HCONRES 111, the Majority Rule Resolution, proposes changing congressional procedure by requiring only a majority vote (not a supermajority) to end debate on any bill or resolution in either the House or Senate. This would directly affect how all members of Congress vote to advance legislation, as it would eliminate the need for 60 votes (or similar thresholds) to close debate in most cases. The resolution aims to streamline legislative process by making debate closure easier, though it does not alter substantive policy content. As a procedural measure, it focuses solely on voting rules, not on specific policy outcomes.
