HRES 1369 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Senate's current cloture and filibuster rules are contrary to the constitutional design of two co-equal majoritarian legislative bodies, are non-deliberative in practice, disenfranchise Members of the House of Representatives and their constituents, and disrupt the proper balance of powers between the two chambers of Congress, and for other purposes.

This House resolution expresses the sentiment that the Senate's current filibuster rules violate the Constitution's design for two co-equal chambers that should operate on majority rule. The bill argues that modern Senate procedures allow a minority of senators to block legislation passed by the House without engaging in actual debate or voting on the merits. It calls on the Senate to reform or abolish these rules to ensure that laws supported by a majority in both chambers receive a timely floor vote and a final decision based on majority opinion.
