Mr. Ashford submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Rules
RESOLUTION
Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to preclude the Committee on Rules from reporting a rule or order that would provide for the consideration of a bill or joint resolution with less than 10 hours of debate.
That clause 6 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
(h) The Committee on Rules may not report a rule or order that would provide less than 10 hours of debate (inclusive of debates on amendments). Any such rule or order shall also provide that if a motion to limit debate is offered, such a motion may only take effect if there is an affirmative vote of two-thirds of those voting, a quorum being present.
