Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 72) relating to a national emergency by the President on February 1, 2025.
HRES 391 establishes procedural rules for the House of Representatives to consider H.J.Res. 72, a joint resolution addressing a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025. It waives all procedural objections to H.J.Res. 72 and its provisions, enabling direct debate and voting. The resolution allocates one hour of debate equally divided between the Foreign Affairs Committee chair and ranking minority member, and permits one motion to recommit. It also requires the Clerk to transmit the House's action on H.J.Res. 72 to the Senate within one week of passage.
