  Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 73) 
 proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States with 
 respect to the number of terms of office of Members of the Senate and 
                     the House of Representatives.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 73) 
proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States with 
respect to the number of terms of office of Members of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives. The first reading of the joint resolution 
shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the joint 
resolution and shall not exceed three hours equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on the Judiciary. After general debate the joint resolution shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The joint 
resolution shall be considered as read. No amendment shall be in order 
except those specified in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the 
order specified in the report, may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, may be considered notwithstanding the 
adoption of a previous amendment in the nature of a substitute, shall 
be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be 
subject to amendment. If more than one amendment is adopted, then only 
the one receiving the greater number of affirmative votes shall be 
considered as finally adopted. In the case of a tie for the greater 
number of affirmative votes, then only the last amendment to receive 
that number of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally 
adopted. At the conclusion of consideration of the joint resolution for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the joint resolution to 
the House with such amendment as may have been finally adopted. The 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the joint 
resolution and any amendment thereto to final passage without 
intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
