VOTE DEVALUES THE FRANCHISE AND DIMINISHES THE VOTING POWER OF UNITED 
STATES CITIZENS
Committee on Rules: Full Committee held a hearing on the Conference 
Report to accompany H.R. 6157, the ``Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2019'' [Department of Defense and Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2019]; and H. Res. 1071, recognizing that allowing 
illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and 
diminishes the voting power of United States citizens. The Committee 
granted, by a record vote of 5-3, a rule providing for consideration of 
the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 6157. The rule waives all 
points of order against the conference report and against its 
consideration. The rule provides that the conference report shall be 
considered as read. The rule provides that the previous question shall 
be considered as ordered without intervention of any motion except one 
hour of debate and one motion to recommit if applicable. Debate on the 
conference report is divided pursuant to clause 8(d) of rule XXII. In 
section 2, the rule provides for the consideration of H. Res. 1071 
under a closed rule. The rule provides one hour of debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary. The rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the resolution. The rule provides that the resolution 
shall be considered as read and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question. Finally, in section 3, the rule provides that 
it shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of September 
27, 2018, or September 28, 2018, for the Speaker to entertain motions 
that the House suspend the rules and that the Speaker or his designee 
shall consult with the Minority Leader or her designee on the 
designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this section. 
Testimony was heard from Chairman Goodlatte, and Representatives 
Nadler, Granger, Cole, Harris, Visclosky, DeLauro, and Jordan.
