                       REGULAR ORDER HAS RETURNED

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, thanks to House Republicans, regular order has 
been restored in the people's House.
  From expedited votes to open, substantive debate on the merits of 
legislation that now take place on this very floor, the American people 
are seeing meaningful progress occur in real time, and it is so 
wonderful to see people in the gallery and in the halls of this 
Capitol.
  One-party rule in Washington had corrupted the legislative process 
for 2 years, and it failed every single American.
  Mr. Speaker, as part of House Republicans' Commitment to America, we 
highlighted our plan to ensure a government that is accountable.
  Every day, we are acting upon that commitment and placing 
accountability and transparency at the feet of the American people. 
This is exactly what good governance is all about. Our colleagues on 
the other side of the aisle should take note.
