    Pursuant to clause 1(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee on Rules transmits 
herewith its Survey of Activities for the 116th Congress.

    I. HISTORY, FUNCTION, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES


                            A. Introduction

    In the 116th Congress, the Committee on Rules retained its 
traditional structure and purpose in the House of 
Representatives. Its size and super majority party ratio 
remained the same as in previous Congresses, under both 
Democratic and Republican control. Its central function 
continued to be setting the conditions under which major 
legislation is considered on the House floor, particularly 
regarding the terms of debate and the process for consideration 
of amendments.
    Underscoring this role, scholars of Congress and Members 
have described the Rules Committee as a ``traffic cop,'' 
``gatekeeper,'' and ``the Speaker's Committee.'' All of these 
terms highlight the critical role the Committee plays in the 
conduct of legislative business in the House. While the primary 
responsibility of the Committee is to be the scheduling arm of 
the majority leadership, it also exercises ``original 
jurisdiction'' over the rules of the House, joint rules of the 
House and Senate, the order of business in the House, and the 
budget process. Although the principal purpose of this report 
is to summarize the activities of the Rules Committee in the 
116th Congress, its secondary purpose is to view these 
activities in the context of the evolution of the Committee and 
the House of Representatives since the First Congress in 1789.

                        B. History and Function

    The Rules Committee has a long and storied history. The 
first Rules Committee was established as a select committee of 
the House on the second day of the First Congress, April 2, 
1789, pursuant to the Constitutional mandate in Article I, 
section 5, clause 2 that, ``[e]ach House may determine the 
rules of its proceedings.'' The House order creating the 
Committee stated that a committee be appointed ``to prepare and 
report such standing rules and orders of proceedings as may be 
proper to be observed in the House.'' Since the moment of its 
inception, the Committee has followed these mandates.
    The Members serving on the Rules Committee have included 
some of the most prominent Members of the House. Of the first 
11 Members on the Committee, several were Founding Fathers of 
the nation. These included: (1) Representative James Madison of 
Virginia, the ``Father of the Constitution'' and future 
President of the United States; (2) Representative Roger 
Sherman of Connecticut, the only one of the Founding Fathers to 
help prepare and sign all four of the most important documents 
of the early nation: the Articles of Association, the Articles 
of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the 
Constitution; (3) Representative Elias Boudinot of New Jersey, 
President of the Continental Congress from November 1782 to 
November 1783; and (4) Representative Elbridge Gerry of 
Massachusetts, a future Vice President of the United States and 
a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the 
Articles of Confederation.
    Five days after its appointment, the first Select Committee 
on Rules began exercising its responsibilities. It reported 
four rules on: (1) the duties of the Speaker, (2) decorum and 
debate, (3) the disposition of bills, and (4) the operations of 
the Committee of the Whole. Six days later, on April 13, 1789 
the Select Committee reported an additional eight rules dealing 
with such matters as the service of Members on committees, 
Members' attendance during floor proceedings, the creation of a 
standing Committee on Elections, the duties of the Clerk, and 
the duties of the Sergeant-at Arms. Following the adoption of 
these rules by the House, the Select Committee was dissolved.
    During the first 90 years of the House, this pattern 
continued. At the beginning of each Congress, the House would 
establish a Select Committee on Rules, which would report any 
recommended revisions in the standing rules of the House from 
those of the previous, and then dissolve. In some Congresses, 
the House did not appoint a Select Committee on Rules and 
instead operated under the rules adopted in the preceding 
Congress.
    Although in its early years the House relied primarily on 
select committees to draft legislation, by the mid-nineteenth 
century this system evolved to include 34 standing committees, 
which assumed such responsibilities. The House briefly 
converted the Rules Committee into a standing committee between 
1849 and 1853. In 1880, the House permanently converted the 
Rules Committee into a standing committee chaired by the 
Speaker of the House. It was this Speaker-Chair position, 
combined with the newly-emerging role of the Committee to 
report rules managing consideration of legislation on the 
floor, that cement the Committee's place in legislative 
history.
    In 1883, the modern Rules Committee began to emerge when 
the House upheld the right of the Committee to issue ``special 
orders of business'' or ``special rules'' providing for the 
consideration of legislation from other committees. By 1890, 
this new role had become the exclusive prerogative of the Rules 
Committee.
    Special rules, which were and are House resolutions, also 
known as simple resolutions reported from the Rules Committee, 
were important because they required only a majority vote of 
the House to provide for the consideration of bills out of the 
order in which they appeared on the floor Calendar. This is 
notable because, until the use of special rules, a two-thirds 
vote was required to suspend the rules and consider a bill out 
of order. A simple majority could now accomplish what 
previously required a super-majority. Special rules gained 
importance because they gave the House flexibility in its 
legislative agenda, which in turn, allowed for House leadership 
to respond to changing judgments about the nation's needs at 
any given time.
    Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine was the individual 
most responsible for recognizing and utilizing the full 
potential of the combined powers of Speaker and Rules Committee 
Chairman; this is because he served in those two roles from 
1889 to 1891 and then again from l895 to 1899. Not only did he 
use his authority as Speaker to make rulings from the Chair 
that outlawed certain obstructionist tactics on the House 
floor; he also proceeded to codify these rulings, known as 
``Reed's Rules,'' in the standing rules of the House through 
his capacity as Rules Committee Chairman. Speaker Reed also 
made regular use of the Rules Committee to report special 
rules, enabling him to schedule bills to be considered on the 
floor when he wished and under his terms of debate and 
amendment.
    This powerful Speaker-Chairman position ended in 1910 in a 
revolt against Speaker Joseph Cannon of Illinois. Speaker 
Cannon had served as Speaker and Rules Committee Chairman since 
1903. Disaffected by Speaker Cannon's autocratic rule, a group 
of Republican insurgents joined with the Democratic minority to 
bypass the Rules Committee and directly amend House Rules from 
the floor. The group amended the Rules to strip the Speaker of 
his chairmanship and membership on the Rules Committee, as well 
as his power to appoint Members to the Committee. They also 
voted to enlarge the Committee from five to ten members elected 
by the House. The following year, a new Democratic majority 
completed the revolution by taking away the Speaker's power to 
appoint embers to all of the other committees of the House. 
Since then, the House has elected all Members to standing 
committees.
    This revolt had far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. 
While the Rules Committee continued to serve as the scheduling 
arm of the House leadership, it illustrated its independence 
when reaction set in against the New Deal in 1937, when many 
Rules Committee members were opposed to the policies of 
President Roosevelt. From that time until 1961, the Committee 
was dominated by a conservative coalition of Southern Democrats 
and Republicans who sometimes would refuse to report rules on 
bills that the majority leadership wanted on the floor, or they 
would report such rules only under their own terms and timing. 
In 1961, Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas and President John F. 
Kennedy led a successful effort to enlarge the membership of 
the Committee, from 12 to 15 Members, however this did not 
produce the desired effect. It was not until the mid-1970s, 
with a large influx of new Democratic Members, that the Rules 
Committee was fully restored as an arm of the majority 
leadership.
    The reform movement of the mid-1970s also produced further 
decentralization in the House with the emergence of more 
independent Members and the proliferation of semi-autonomous 
subcommittees. This decentralization soon led to pressures to 
give the majority leadership, in particular the Speaker acting 
through the Rules Committee, more authority to direct the 
business of the House.
    In 1975, with a Democratic majority in the House, 
Democratic Caucus rules, which govern how the Democratic 
Members will carry out their roles, gave the Democratic Speaker 
the authority to appoint all Rules Committee Democrats, subject 
to Caucus ratification. In 1989, with a Republican minority in 
the House, the Republican Conference, which governs how 
Republican Members exercise their duties, gave the Minority 
Leader the same authority to appoint Republican Members to the 
Rules Committee.
    Today, the slates of appointees recommended by the Speaker 
and Minority Leader are still subject to approval by the whole 
House in the form of a simple resolution. In the 116th 
Congress, the Democratic Members were appointed to the Rules 
Committee through the adoption of H. Res. 7, H. Res. 24, H. 
Res. 26, H. Res. 125, and H. Res. 934. The Republican Members 
of the Committee were appointed through the adoption of H. Res. 
8 and H. Res. 25.
    While the most high-profile role of the Rules Committee is 
to direct legislative traffic to the House floor, the Committee 
is also responsible for other important business. For instance, 
as part of its gate-keeping work, the Committee must help 
resolve jurisdictional disputes between other standing 
committees. As is often the case, committees will report 
legislation with amendments that impact the jurisdiction of 
other committees. When legislation with such cross-
jurisdictional language comes to the Rules Committee, the 
Committee must resolve these disputes to ensure that 
legislation reaches the floor without controversy between House 
committees.
    Finally, with the aid of the Office of the Parliamentarian, 
the Committee plays a role in ensuring compliance with the 
House Rules. Authorizing and appropriating committees often 
seek guidance in how to conduct their oversight and legislative 
responsibilities in accordance with the Rules. When questions 
arise regarding the propriety of certain courses of action, 
they turn to the Rules Committee or the Parliamentarian for the 
answer.
    Overall, and notwithstanding changes in majority control, 
the Rules Committee continues its role of facilitating the 
deliberation and amending of legislation in the House.

          C. Committee Organization During the 116th Congress

    At the beginning of the 94th Congress, the Committee 
membership was increased from fifteen Members (ten Democrats 
and five Republicans) to sixteen Members (eleven Democrats and 
five Republicans). This ratio remained until the 98th Congress, 
when the membership was reduced to thirteen Members (nine 
Democrats and four Republicans). The membership has remained at 
thirteen, through the 116th Congress. The ratio of majority 
party Members to minority party Members also has remained the 
same. However, in the 112th through the 115th Congresses, 
Republicans were in the majority and Democrats were in the 
minority. During the 116th Congress, Democrats were in the 
majority.
    Six of the thirteen members of the Rules Committee in the 
116th Congress served on the Committee during the previous 
Congress. The returning Democratic Representatives were James 
McGovern of Massachusetts, Alcee Hastings of Florida, and Norma 
Torres of California. The new Democratic Representatives on the 
Committee for the 116th Congress were Ed Perlmutter of 
Colorado, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Mary Gay Scanlon of 
Pennsylvania, Joe Morelle of New York, Donna Shalala of 
Florida, and Mark DeSaulnier of California. Doris Matsui of 
California was elected to the Committee on January 8, 2019 and 
served until she resigned on February 13, 2019. Mark DeSaulnier 
of California was elected to the Committee on February 13, 
2019. On April 21, 2020, Mark DeSaulnier requested a leave of 
absence from the Committee, and on April 22, 2020, Doris Matsui 
was re-elected to the Committee on Rules. The returning 
Republican Representatives were Tom Cole of Oklahoma, Rob 
Woodall of Georgia, and Michael Burgess of Texas. The new 
Republican Representative on the Committee for the 116th 
Congress was Debbie Lesko of Arizona.
    The Committee held its organizational meeting on January 8, 
2019. Chairman James McGovern of Massachusetts opened the 
meeting and welcomed all of the Committee Members.
    Chairman McGovern announced that the proposed Rules 
Committee rules would be considered as read and open for 
amendment at any point. He explained that the proposal called 
for the adoption of the Committee's rules for the previous 
Congress with no modifications.
    Mr. Hastings offered a motion that the Rules Committee 
adopt the proposed Committee rules for the 116th Congress. Two 
amendments were considered by voice vote. Amendment #1, offered 
by Mr. Raskin, would create a Subcommittee on Expedited 
Procedures, which would have general responsibility for 
measures or matters related to expedited procedures for floor 
consideration in law or in the Rules of the House, and was 
agreed to by voice vote. Amendment #2, offered by Mr. Cole, 
would require that the Rules Committee Survey of Activities 
include all waivers of points of order previously disclosed in 
Rules Committee reports, and was agreed to by voice vote. Mr. 
Hastings' motion to adopt the Committee rules, as amended, was 
agreed to by voice vote.
    Pursuant to clause 2(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the 
House, Chairman McGovern designated Alcee Hastings as the Vice 
Chair of the Rules Committee to act on the Chair's behalf 
during a temporary absence of the Chair.
    Mr. Hastings offered a motion that pursuant to rule 5(c) of 
the Committee on Rules, the Subcommittee on Rules and 
Organization of the House, the Subcommittee on Legislative and 
Budget Process, and the Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures 
continued to be composed of five majority and two minority 
Members, identical to the ratio used in recent Congresses. Mr. 
Hastings' motion was agreed to by voice vote. Chairman McGovern 
asked unanimous consent that any appointments to the 
subcommittees be postponed until the chair and ranking member 
had time to consult with members and each other.
    Finally, the majority and minority staff of the Committee 
on Rules was approved and the committee staff was authorized to 
make technical and conforming changes to rules reported by the 
Committee for the duration of the 116th Congress.
    On April 1, 2019, Chairman McGovern proposed and the 
Committee adopted by unanimous consent the appointment of Mrs. 
Torres as Chair of the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization 
of the House, Mr. Hastings as Chair of the Subcommittee on 
Legislative and Budget Process, and Mr. Raskin as Chair of the 
Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures. Chairman McGovern and 
Ranking Member Cole appointed the majority and minority Members 
of the three subcommittees as follows:
    Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House: Mrs. 
Torres (Chair), Mr. Perlmutter, Ms. Scanlon, Mr. Morelle, Mr. 
McGovern, Mrs. Lesko (Ranking Member), and Mr. Woodall.
    Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process: Mr. 
Hastings (Chairman), Mr. Morelle, Ms. Scanlon, Ms. Shalala, Mr.

          D. Information Transparency for the Rules Committee

    Due to its unique role in the legislative process, the 
Committee on Rules has traditionally assumed the role as the 
portal through which Members and the public access major 
legislation in the House. Whether it is early access to 
legislation or conference reports, or the text of amendments 
submitted to the Committee or made in order for the floor, the 
Rules Committee has always served as the central repository for 
those documents.
    H. Res. 5 of the 112th Congress dictated the establishment 
of an official central location for the posting of electronic 
legislative documents. This electronic repository was launched 
at docs.house.gov on January 13, 2012 (beginning of the 112th 
Congress, Second Session). Along with the Majority Leader's 
office, the Committee on Rules still maintains its data.
    With the transition to a new majority this Congress, the 
Rules Committee website was modernized and improved through a 
redesign process completed in partnership with House 
Information Resources (HIR). This work represents the largest 
update to the site since its overhaul at the beginning of the 
112th Congress. Among the key features of the redesigned site 
are:
           Live-streamed video of Committee meetings 
        embedded on the homepage;
           Dates and times for meetings and amendment 
        deadlines highlighted on the homepage;
           Mobile-ready versions of all pages on the 
        site;
           A new ``Special Rules'' page, listing in one 
        place all rules reported by the Committee in recent 
        Congresses; and
           A new ``Original Jurisdiction'' page, 
        listing all such hearings and mark-ups conducted by the 
        Committee.
    Additionally, the redesign process was specially completed 
to maintain links to the historical and educational material 
that Members, staff, citizens, and academics find useful in 
understanding the legislative process in the House, in addition 
to all records posted to the majority website since the 
beginning of the 112th Congress.
    The website also maintains links to much of the historical 
and educational material that Members, staff, citizens, and 
academics find useful in understanding the legislative process 
in the House.
    The Committee continues to make critical use of the 
Committee on Rules Electronic Database (CORE Database) that was 
originally developed in the 109th Congress to assist with 
amendment intake, tracking, and production of draft rules and 
reports on an expedited basis.
    This system serves as the interface through which Member 
offices submit amendments to the Committee. Once submitted, 
CORE allows the Committee to quickly process amendments, as 
well as track them throughout the Rules Committee process. 
Ultimately, CORE is responsible for producing the templates of 
each resolution and report needed for filing with the House. 
CORE also streamlines the posting of amendments and other 
information on the Committee's public website.
    Following the majority change, the Committee made a 
significant investment to repair and improve the system, adding 
new functionality to:
           Accommodate fully electronic amendment 
        submissions during the COVID-19 pandemic;
           Print the texts of amendments directly into 
        the body of each report to be filed, avoiding the 
        traditional process of hand-collating paper 
        submissions;
           Upgrade the system from a Windows 2008 
        server to a modern system running Windows 2019 
        architecture;
           Allow Member offices to select amendment co-
        sponsors electronically for the first time ever;
           Overhaul and automate the intake process for 
        amendment revisions;
           Automate specificity in report documents 
        regarding which bill an amendment relates to; and
           Support the Committee's new ``20/20 
        Protocol'' for amendments with widespread bipartisan 
        support.
    Additionally, the Committee made numerous minor 
improvements to the functions of individual data types.
    This system continues to allow the Committee to quickly 
process submitted amendments and proposed rules to meet its own 
needs and ultimately produce the resolutions, reports, and 
other materials needed for filing with the House. The CORE 
Database also automates the posting of amendments and other 
information on the Committee's public website. The CORE 
Database continues to allow the Committee to both increase its 
efficiency and improve its transparency by closely linking the 
production of committee work product to its public disclosure 
responsibilities.
    On May 15, 2020, the House adopted House Resolution 965 to 
ensure Congress could continue legislating during the COVID-19 
pandemic. The resolution provided for the temporary 
implementation of remote voting on the House Floor and virtual 
committee proceedings during a ``covered period'' designated by 
the Speaker after receiving a notification from the Sergeant-
at-Arms, in consultation with the Attending Physician, that a 
public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus is in 
effect. A ``covered period'' was designated by Speaker Pelosi 
on May 20, 2020 and was ultimately extended through the end of 
the 116th Congress.
    Following the guidance of the Attending Physician to 
maximize the use of telework across the House, the Committee 
took steps, pursuant to House Resolution 965, to provide for 
fully remote committee proceedings.
    The Committee used the Cisco WebEx video conferencing 
platform, which was approved by the Chief Administrative 
Officer of the House, to conduct remote committee meetings. The 
Committee established a web-accessible document repository and 
provided members and staff with an email address to submit 
materials for the record.
    In accordance with the Remote Committee Proceedings 
Regulations Pursuant to House Resolution 965, members of the 
Committee were provided the opportunity to participate in a 
non-public rehearsal held via the Cisco WebEx platform on May 
22, 2020. The rehearsal followed the format of a standard Rules 
Committee meeting, including a hearing and a markup. Members 
were provided the opportunity to practice submitting materials 
into the record through the document repository, as well as 
offer motions and take committee votes. The meeting also served 
as a rehearsal for participating support offices including the 
House Recording Studio and the Office of Official Reporters, 
who joined on WebEx as attendees.
    Pursuant to the requirements in section 4(b) of House 
Resolution 965, the Committee held two full committee hearings 
with remote participation prior to holding a remote committee 
mark-up.
           On May 27, 2020, the Rules Committee held a 
        remote hearing on the Senate Amendments to H.R. 6172--
        USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020. Testimony was 
        heard from Chairperson Lofgren, and Representatives 
        Raskin, Jordan, Davidson of Ohio, Gohmert, and 
        Armstrong.
           On June 24, 2020, the Rules Committee held a 
        remote hearing on H.R. 7120--George Floyd Justice in 
        Policing Act of 2020; H.R. 1425--State Health Care 
        Premium Reduction Act [Patient Protection and 
        Affordable Care Enhancement Act]; H.R. 51--Washington, 
        D.C. Admission Act; H.R. 5332--Protecting Your Credit 
        Score Act of 2019; and H.J. Res. 90--Providing for 
        congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, 
        United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office 
        of the Comptroller of the Currency relating to 
        ``Community Reinvestment Act Regulations''. Testimony 
        was heard from Chairman Pallone, Chairwoman Waters, and 
        Representatives Walden, Estes, Tipton, Norton, Hice of 
        Georgia, Gosar, Bass, Armstrong, Danny K. Davis of 
        Illinois, Cline, Jackson Lee, Schweikert, Stauber, and 
        Perlmutter.
    Following the Rules Committee hearing on June 24, 2020, the 
Committee submitted a letter to the Congressional Record 
stating that the requirements to hold remote business meetings 
had been met. Chairman McGovern and Representatives Hastings, 
Torres, Perlmutter, Raskin, Scanlon, Morelle, Shalala, and 
Matsui signed the letter.
    In addition to remote committee meetings, a system was also 
established to remotely process amendments submitted to the 
Committee. In this system:
          1. Member offices completed an online amendment 
        submission form on the Committee website.
          2. An automated response from the amendment intake 
        inbox was sent to the submitting office requesting 
        further information on the amendment.
          3. Offices filled out the required fields in the 
        response email as well as attached a copy of the 
        amendment to the email.
          4. Rules Committee staff crosschecked the information 
        provided by the office in the follow-up email with the 
        information submitted through the CORE Database and 
        processed the amendment accordingly.
          5. Member offices received a confirmation email sent 
        by Rules Committee staff once it was determined all 
        requirements were met and the amendment was processed 
        successfully.
          6. All amendments were posted electronically on the 
        Committee website.

              Rule 8.--Committee Administration Reporting

    (a) Whenever the Committee authorizes the favorable 
reporting of a bill or resolution from the Committee--
          (1) The Chair or acting Chair shall report it to the 
        House or designate a member of the Committee to do so.
          (2) In the case of a bill or resolution in which the 
        Committee has original jurisdiction, the Chair shall

        schedule permits, any member of the Committee a 
        reasonable amount of time to submit views for inclusion 
        in the Committee report on the bill or resolution. Any 
        such report shall contain all matters required by the 
        Rules of the House of Representatives (or by any 
        provision of law enacted as an exercise of the 
        rulemaking power of the House) and such other 
        information as the Chair deems appropriate.
          (3) In the case of a resolution providing for 
        consideration of a measure, the Committee report 
        accompanying such resolution shall include an accurate 
        explanation of any waivers of points of order, 
        including a detailed explanation of all points of 
        order.

                                RECORDS

    (b)(1) There shall be a transcript made of each regular 
meeting and hearing of the Committee, and the transcript may be 
printed if the Chair decides it is appropriate or if a majority 
of the members of the Committee requests such printing. Any 
such transcripts shall be a substantially verbatim account of 
remarks actually made during the proceedings, subject only to 
technical, grammatical, and typographical corrections 
authorized by the person making the remarks. Nothing in this 
paragraph shall be construed to require that all such 
transcripts be subject to correction and publication.
    (2) The Committee shall keep a record of all actions of the 
Committee and of its subcommittees. The record shall contain 
all information required by clause 2(e)(1) of rule XI of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives and shall be available 
for public inspection at reasonable times in the offices of the 
Committee.
    (3) All Committee hearings, records, data, charts, and 
files shall be kept separate and distinct from the 
congressional office records of the Chair, shall be the 
property of the House, and all Members of the House shall have 
access thereto as provided in clause 2(e)(2) of rule XI of the 
Rules of the House.
    (4) The records of the Committee at the National Archives 
and Records Administration shall be made available for public 
use in accordance with rule VII of the Rules of the House. The 
Chair shall notify the ranking minority member of any decision, 
pursuant to clause 3(b)(3) or clause 4(b) of the rule, to 
withhold a record otherwise available, and the matter shall be 
presented to the Committee for a determination on written 
request of any member of the Committee.

                        AUDIO AND VIDEO COVERAGE

    (c) The Chair shall provide, to the maximum extent 
practicable--
          (1) complete and unedited audio and video broadcasts 
        of all committee hearings and meetings; and
          (2) for distribution of such broadcasts and unedited 
        recordings thereof to the public and for the storage of 
        audio and video recordings of the proceedings. 
        Proceedings shall be broadcast live on the Majority 
        Committee website and recordings shall be made 
        available on such website within one calendar day of 
        the proceeding.

                 COMMITTEE PUBLICATIONS ON THE INTERNET

    (d) To the maximum extent feasible, the Committee shall 
make its publications available in electronic form.

                                JOURNAL

such other matters as the Chair shall direct. The Journal shall 
be published periodically, but in no case less often than once 
in each session of Congress.
    (2) A rule is considered as formally requested when the 
Chairman of a committee of primary jurisdiction which has 
reported a bill or resolution (or a member of such committee 
authorized to act on the Chairman's behalf):
          (A) has requested, in writing to the Chair, that a 
        hearing be scheduled on a rule for the consideration of 
        the bill or resolution; and
          (B) has supplied the Committee with the bill or 
        resolution, as reported, together with the final 
        committee report thereon.

                    SURVEY OF ACTIVITIES REQUIREMENT

    (f) The Committee's Survey of Activities, filed pursuant to 
clause 1(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the House, shall include 
a compilation of all known waivers of points of order 
previously disclosed in reports from the Committee on Rules 
pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of this rule or included in the 
Congressional Record.

                            OTHER PROCEDURES

    (g) The Chair may establish such other Committee procedures

rules or to facilitate the effective operation of the Committee 
and its subcommittees in a manner consistent with these rules.

                 Rule 9.--Amendments to Committee Rules

    The rules of the Committee may be modified, amended or 
repealed, in the same manner and method as prescribed for the 
adoption of committee rules in clause 2 of rule XI of the Rules 
of the House, but only if written notice of the proposed change 
has been provided to each Member at least 48 hours before the 
time of the meeting at which the vote on the change occurs. Any 
such change in the rules of the Committee shall be published in 
the Congressional Record within 30 calendar days after their 
approval.

 II. HOUSE RULES CHANGES ADOPTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 116TH CONGRESS


                            A. Introduction

    The resolution (H. Res. 6) proposing the rules for the One 
Hundred Sixteenth Congress was called up by Majority Leader 
Steny Hoyer on January 3, 2019. In addition to a series of 
changes to various standing rules, House Resolution 6 included 
a number of separate orders constituting procedures to be 
followed in the One Hundred Sixteenth Congress.
    In crafting this rules package, Democrats on the Rules 
Committee conducted extensive outreach, consulting with Members 
and a wide variety of stakeholders in order to capture a range 
of suggestions to create a more inclusive and accommodating set 
of rules. This outreach included a letter to all Members 
soliciting their ideas.
    Changes adopted in this extensive rules package include 
requiring hearings and markups for measures considered under a 
rule, establishing Member Day hearings so all Members can 
publicly present their ideas to committees, providing Members 
with a full 72 hours to read bills, creating the Consensus 
Calendar to expedite consideration of bills with broad 
bipartisan support, simplifying the discharge petition process, 
eliminating ``CUTGO'' and reinstating ``PAYGO,'' and banning 
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender 
identity in the House.
    Title I of H. Res. 6, containing the proposed rules and 
separate orders for the 116th Congress, was adopted 234-197.

  B. Summary of Substantive Changes Contained in H. Res. 6, Adopting 
                   House Rules for the 116th Congress


Notification of Convening of the House

    Subsection (a) clarifies that Delegates and the Resident 
Commissioner must be notified of action regarding the convening 
of the House pursuant to clause 12 of rule I.

Voting by Delegates and the Resident Commissioner in the Committee of 
        the Whole

    Subsection (b) extends the same powers and privileges of 
Members to Delegates and the Resident Commissioner when in the 
Committee of the Whole. The subsection also provides that any 
recorded vote in the Committee of the Whole, decided within a 
margin where the Delegates and the Resident Commissioner may 
have had a decisive impact on the final outcome of the vote, 
will be re-conducted in the House.

Allowing Delegates and the Resident Commissioner to Serve on Joint 
        Committees

    Subsection (c) provides that Delegates and the Resident 
Commissioner may serve on joint committees.

Admittance to the Hall of the House

    Subsection (d) adds Delegates-elect, the Resident 
Commissioner-elect, contestants in elections for Delegate or 
the Resident Commissioner, and Governors of the Territories to 
the list of people who are permitted in the Hall of the House.

Office of Speaker

    Subsection (e) amends rule IX to provide that a resolution 
causing a vacancy in the Office of Speaker shall be privileged 
if offered at the direction of a party caucus or conference. 
This change does not otherwise alter the application of rule IX 
to privileged resolutions. A resolution causing a vacancy in 
the Office of Speaker offered at the direction of a party 
caucus or conference remains subject to the notice and debate 
procedures in clause 2(a) of rule IX. This change does not 
apply to a resolution reported as privileged by the Committee 
on Ethics pursuant to clause 5(a)(5) of rule XIII.

Designating Committee on Oversight and Reform

    Subsection (f) changes the name of the Committee on 
Oversight and Government Reform to the Committee on Oversight 
and Reform.

Designating Committee on Education and Labor

    Subsection (g) changes the name of the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce back to the Committee on Education 
and Labor.

Education and Labor Jurisdiction Clarification

    Subsection (h) clarifies that the Committee on Education 
and Labor's jurisdiction includes the general management of the 
Department of Education and the general management of the 
Department of Labor. This change is intended to clarify the 
Committee's existing jurisdiction over the organization and 
administration of the departments, and it not intended to alter 
jurisdiction over programs within the departments.

Committee Oversight Plans

    Subsection (i) amends the requirements for committee 
oversight plans. The subsection requires the chair of each 
standing committee (with the exception of the Committees on 
Appropriations, Ethics, and Rules), in consultation with the 
ranking minority member, to prepare and submit an oversight 
plan to the Committees on House Administration and Oversight 
and Reform by March 1 of the first session of a Congress. 
Finally, the Committee on Oversight and Reform, in consultation 
with House leadership of both parties, is required to submit 
the oversight plans to the House by April 15th of the first 
session of a Congress with any recommendation it has for the 
effective coordination of oversight plans.
    The subsection favors the standard of previous Congresses 
over the 115th Congress, requiring an oversight plan as opposed 
to the 115th Congress's new authorization and oversight plan. 
The March 1st submission deadline is an extension from the 
prior February 15th deadline. The subsection also replaces the 
requirement for a committee meeting on the plan with a 
requirement that the chair consult with the ranking minority 
member, make the plan available to each member of the committee 
for at least seven calendar days, and include any committee 
member's views received before the submission deadline. This 
subsection also modifies which committees will initially 
receive these plans, removing the Committee on Appropriations. 
Finally, the Committee on Oversight and Reform's April 15th 
submission deadline to the House is in line with the 
subsection's new timeline.

Activity Reports

    Subsection (j) amends language in clauses 1(d)(2)(B) and 
1(d)(2)(C) of rule XI referencing authorization and oversight 
plans to conform with the changes described in subsection (i).

Oversight Over the Executive Office of the President

    Subsection (k) clarifies the Committee on Oversight and 
Reform's existing special oversight authority over all 
operations of government.

Oversight and Reform Committee Depositions

    Subsection (l) removes the requirement that Members be 
present during counsel-led depositions, returning to the 
standard of the 111th Congress.

Removing Certain Committee Term Limits

    Subsection (m) removes term limits for committee chairs as 
well as members of the Committee on the Budget.

Rules of Committees

    Subsection (n) extends the deadline for committees to make 
their rules available to the public from 30 days to 60 days 
after the chair's election at the beginning of a Congress. This 
change is intended to grant committees adequate time to 
organize, as some committees do not have a full complement of 
members at the start of a Congress.

Committee Markup Notice

    Subsection (o) modifies the three-day notification 
requirement for committee markups by specifying that Saturdays, 
Sundays, or legal holidays, except when the House is in 
session, do not count toward fulfillment of the notification 
requirement.

Annual Ethics Training

    Subsection (p) extends the annual ethics training 
requirement to all Members, Delegates, and the Resident 
Commissioner. The previous rule required new Members, 
Delegates, and Resident Commissioner to attend ethics training, 
and staff to attend ethics training annually.

Considering Criminal Trial Evidence in Ethics Investigation

    Subsection (q) authorizes the Committee on Ethics to 
consider as evidence the transcripts and exhibits from trial 
where a Member, Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner was 
convicted by a court of record for a crime related to the 
subject of the investigation by the Committee on Ethics.

Consensus Calendar

    Subsection (r) creates a Consensus Calendar, and mandates 
that the Speaker must designate, and the House must consider, 
at least one measure on the Consensus Calendar during any week 
in which the House convenes (except at the beginning and the 
end of a Congress). The designation is accomplished via an 
announcement from the chair immediately prior to a measure's 
consideration. Measures may be considered in any manner 
otherwise available under the rules to satisfy this 
requirement.
    This subsection also provides that, to be eligible for 
placement on the Consensus Calendar, a measure must accumulate 
290 cosponsors, and must not have been reported by its primary 
committee of jurisdiction. Once this cosponsorship threshold is 
reached the sponsor of the measure may, while the House is in 
session, submit to the Clerk a written motion to place the 
measure on the Consensus Calendar. If the above-mentioned 
conditions have been met, the Clerk will note the motion's 
submission in the Congressional Record of that day, and enter 
the motion on a comprehensive list of Consensus Calendar 
Motions (which will be viewable on the Clerk's website). Once a 
measure that was the subject of a properly filed motion has 
maintained 290 cosponsors for a cumulative total of 25 
legislative days, it is placed on the Consensus Calendar, where 
it remains until it is considered in the House or reported by 
its primary committee. The 25-legislative day count begins on 
the legislative day after a proper motion is filed, and the 
required 25 legislative days need not run contiguously to be 
counted. Any day on which the measure has less than 290 
cosponsors shall not count towards the 25-day cumulative total. 
A Consensus Calendar motion is considered withdrawn if the 
measure that is the subject of such motion is reported by its 
primary committee before the measure has been placed on the 
Consensus Calendar. However, once the measure has been placed 
on the Consensus Calendar it remains there even if it falls 
below 290 cosponsors after such placement.

Recorded Votes in Rules Committee Reports

    Subsection (s) provides that the requirement for recorded 
votes to be depicted in committee reports applies to reports 
from the Committee on Rules on a rule, joint rule, or the order 
of business only to the maximum extent practicable, due to the 
constricted timeframe under which such reports are prepared and 
filed. This change is intended to ensure special rules--and 
thus the floor schedule--cannot be delayed due to a 
typographical error in the recorded votes depiction.

72-Hour Text Availability

    Subsection (t) requires that legislative text be made 
publicly available for a full 72 hours before it is considered 
in the House. Previously, legislative text could not be 
considered before ``the third day'' on which it had been 
available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner. 
The new 72-hour availability requirement would apply to the 
same types of text to which the former three-day availability 
rules applied: reports accompanying measures or matters (clause 
4(a)(1) of rule XIII); unreported bills and joint resolutions 
(clause 11 of rule XXI); conference reports (clause 8(a)(1)(A) 
of rule XXII); and amendments reported from conference in 
disagreement (clause 8(b)(1)(A) of rule XXII). In all cases, 
the 72-hour clock would begin to run at the time that the 
relevant text is made available electronically. The additional 
language inserted in clause 4(a)(1) of rule XIII regarding the 
proposed text of a report is intended to ensure that, in the 
case of reports, the 72-hour clock will begin to run at the 
time the proposed content of a report (other than any 
supplemental, minority, additional, or dissenting views 
described in clause 2(l) of rule XI) is made available 
electronically. It is important to note that the 72-hour 
availability period for a committee report is calculated 
differently than the two-day period for filing supplemental, 
minority, additional, or dissenting views. As a result, there 
is the potential that the two periods could conflict if 
proposed report text is made available prior to the filing of 
the report. Therefore, any committee making the report 
available electronically must also make any such views 
available electronically promptly after they are submitted to 
the committee to avoid the possibility that the House would 
consider a measure prior to the availability of the complete 
accompanying report.

Macroeconomic Analysis

    Subsection (u) removes the requirement that the 
Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation 
make assumptions, to the extent practicable, regarding changes 
in macroeconomic variables (often called ``dynamic scoring'') 
when preparing estimates on the budgetary effects of major 
legislation.

Discharge Petitions

    Subsection (v) amends the discharge petition process. The 
subsection expands the number of days on which motions to 
discharge, following a perfected discharge petition, may be 
considered by removing the provision that currently restricts 
motions to discharge to the second and fourth Mondays of a 
month. Instead, the subsection requires the Speaker to schedule 
the consideration of a privileged motion to discharge within 
two legislative days after the day on which a Member who signed 
the discharge petition announces to the House an intention to 
offer a motion to discharge. A motion to discharge may only be 
called up by the Member who gave notice under this rule.

Private Calendar

    Subsection (w) expands the availability of the 
discretionary call of the Private Calendar beyond the third 
Tuesday of a month, permitting the Speaker or a designee to 
call up eligible private measures on any day with sufficient 
notice. The subsection requires the measure to have been on the 
Private Calendar for at least seven days, after which the 
Speaker or a designee may announce to the House an intention to 
call up the measure. That measure then may be called up two 
legislative days after the legislative day on which the 
announcement is made, after the disposal of such business on 
the Speaker's table as requires reference only. The level of 
specificity in timing is intended to ensure that the Official 
Objectors are able to be on the Floor at the appropriate day 
and time.

Religious Headdress

    Subsection (x) clarifies and maintains the existing 
prohibition on wearing hats in the Hall of the House, while 
making express that this prohibition does not include religious 
headwear. The language for this clarification is modeled on the 
statutory provision providing for proper decorum during the 
Pledge of Allegiance, 4 U.S.C. 4.

Quorum in the Committee of the Whole

    Subsection (y) clarifies that Delegates and the Resident 
Commissioner count when establishing a quorum in the Committee 
of the Whole and when determining if the requisite number are 
present to request a recorded vote therein. The subsection also 
instructs the Chair to include Delegates and the Resident 
Commissioner when determining if Members are provided adequate 
opportunity to vote. This change conforms clause 6 of rule 
XVIII to the changes made to the House rules in subsection (b).

Two-Minute Voting in the Committee of the Whole

    Subsection (z) provides the Chair of the Committee of the 
Whole with additional discretion to reduce votes to two 
minutes, if in the discretion of the Chair Members, Delegates, 
and the Resident Commissioner would be afforded an adequate 
opportunity to vote.

Postponability of Certain Votes

    Subsection (aa) provides that any vote on an amendment in 
the House is postponable, as is a vote on ordering the previous 
question thereon.

Discretion for Five-Minute Votes

    Subsection (bb) provides the Speaker with additional 
discretion to reduce votes to 5 minutes, if in the discretion 
of the Speaker Members would be afforded an adequate 
opportunity to vote.

Net Increase in Budget Authority

    Subsection (cc) removes the point of order prohibiting 
amendments to general appropriation bills that propose a net 
increase in the level of budget authority in a bill. This will 
allow amendments that increase spending without offsetting that 
increase, so long as the amendment does not cause the bill to 
exceed 302(a) or 302(b) budget allocations.

Removing Supermajority Vote

    Subsection (dd) removes the requirement that the House 
agree by at least a 3/5 supermajority in order to raise revenue 
through additional Federal income taxes. The subsection also 
removes the requirement that any such measure receives an 
automatic record vote, and provides a technical fix to a cross-
reference in clause 5(a)(2) of rule XXI.

Pay-As-You-Go Point of Order

    Subsection (ee) reinstates the PAYGO rule from the 111th 
Congress, with changes to conform with the recent practice of 
tying the measurement timeline to the calendar year, rather 
than the last completed budget resolution. As in the 111th 
Congress, this provision establishes a point of order against 
any measure that has a net effect of increasing the deficit or 
reducing the surplus for the current fiscal year, the budget 
year, and up to nine fiscal years following that budget year. 
The subsection stipulates that the net budgetary effects of a 
measure will be determined by the non-partisan Congressional 
Budget Office (CBO) but provides that if a measure is 
considered pursuant to a special order that instructs the Clerk 
of the House to add the measure to another measure passed by 
the House, then the net budgetary effects of the entire package 
will be considered. Finally, the subsection provides for 
exemptions, given an emergency designation.

Banning Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation or Gender 
        Identity

    Subsection (ff) adds to the Code of Official Conduct a 
prohibition on discrimination by any Member, Delegate, Resident 
Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House on the basis of 
sexual orientation or gender identity.

Banning Sexual Relationships Between Members and Committee Staff

    Subsection (gg) extends the prohibition on sexual 
relationships between members (including Delegates and the 
Resident Commissioner) and their employees to include members 
who serve on a committee on which a staffer works, even if that 
staffer is not his or her direct employee.

Service of Indicted Members in Leadership and on Committees

    Subsection (hh) adds to the Code of Official Conduct the 
standard that a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner who 
has been indicted or formally charged with criminal conduct for 
a felony offense punishable by at least two years in prison 
should resign from any committee on which he or she serves, and 
step aside from any party caucus or conference leadership 
position the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner holds, 
until he or she is acquitted or the charges are dismissed or 
reduced below the previously described threshold.

Banning Members, Officers, and Employees from Sitting on Corporate 
        Boards

    Subsection (ii) prohibits Members, Delegates and the 
Resident Commissioner, officers, and employees of the House 
from serving as an officer or director of any public company, 
effective January 1, 2020. The subsection also requires the 
Committee on Ethics to develop regulations by December 31, 
2019, addressing other types of prohibited service or positions 
that could lead to conflicts of interest.

Suspension of the Debt Limit

    Subsection (jj) provides that when the House adopts a 
budget resolution, a separate joint resolution suspending the 
Federal debt limit through September 30 of the budget year is 
deemed to have passed the House by the same vote and is 
engrossed separately and sent to the Senate.

               III. COMMITTEE JURISDICTION AND ACTIVITIES


                            A. Introduction

    The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee on Rules is set 
forth in clause 1(o) of rule X as follows:
    (o) Committee on Rules.
    (1) Rules and joint rules (other than those relating to the 
Code of Official Conduct) and the order of business of the 
House.
    (2) Recesses and final adjournments of Congress.
    The special oversight function of the Committee is outlined 
in clause 3(j) of rule X as follows:
    (j) The Committee on Rules shall review and study on a 
continuing basis the congressional budget process, and the 
committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the 
House from time to time.
    The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee for the 
purposes of this Survey of Activities is broken down into two 
subcategories: original jurisdiction matters and special rules 
(or order of business resolutions). In practice, these 
subgroups are intertwined in a manner that greatly affects the 
way in which the House conducts its business. Original 
jurisdiction matters include all measures pertaining to the 
rules of the House, the budget process and joint rules. These 
measures are either referred directly to the Committee by the 
Speaker or originate in the Committee itself. They not only 
pertain to changes in House procedures, but also cover the 
Committee's power to establish select committees, authorize 
certain investigations, provide enforcement procedures for the 
budget process, and to establish Congressional procedures for 
considering certain executive branch proposals.
    The Committee held 6 hearings and 4 markups on matters of 
original jurisdiction during the 116th Congress. The original 
jurisdiction measures that were marked-up by the Rules 
Committee were reported to the House for consideration, and 
subsequently adopted by the House.
    The other subgroup of the Committee's jurisdictional 
mandate, referred to as order of business resolutions or 
`special rules,' is used by the Committee to direct the manner 
in which a bill or resolution will be considered by the House. 
`Special rules,' in the form of House resolutions, tailor the 
time allotted for debate and the process by which a bill can be 
amended. This is done to allow the House to consider the 
subject matter in a way which best suits the bill's individual 
issues and/or controversies. These `rules' also may contain 
waivers of specific House rules or provisions in the 
Congressional Budget Act. It is sometimes necessary to waive 
the rules of the House in order to allow the House to consider 
all the facets of the particular issue or to facilitate the 
House resolving its differences with the Senate. Special rules 
also allow the House to consider measures according to the 
majority leadership's legislative scheduling priorities rather 
than the numerical order in which they were reported.
    During the 116th Congress, the Committee held 70 days of 
hearings pursuant to the 80 written requests received from 
committee chairs seeking rules. These formal requests do not 
reflect additional requests of an emergency nature made in 
person by the chairs of the various legislative committees. The 
Committee reported 77 special orders providing for the 
consideration of 115 bills and resolutions, ten Senate 
amendments, and two conference reports.
    The Committee granted no open rules, no modified open 
rules, 55 structured rules, and 60 closed rules for the 
consideration of bills and resolutions. Additionally, the 
Committee granted ten rules providing for the consideration of 
senate amendments and two rules providing for the consideration 
of conference reports. In summary, of the 77 special orders 
reported by the Committee on Rules, the House adopted 77, two 
of which were amended, tabled none, and rejected none.
    At the close of the 116th Congress, no Rules Committee 
matters remained on the House Calendar. The Committee on Rules 
reported three original jurisdiction measures. The Subcommittee 
on Legislative and Budget Process held two hearings during the 
Congress, the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the 
House held none, and the Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures 
held none.

                       B. Special Orders or Rules


                            1. RULE REQUESTS

    The process of considering requests for special orders or 
``rules'' usually begins when the Committee on Rules receives a 
letter from a committee requesting that it hold a hearing and 
consider a rule for that particular measure. The letter is 
signed by the full committee chair and most often makes a 
specific request for the type of rule desired by the committee. 
In some cases, the emergency nature of the legislation does not 
allow adequate time for a formal request to be registered. In 
these cases, the requests are traditionally made in person by 
the chair of the committee with jurisdiction. Once a hearing 
has been scheduled, the Committee on Rules allows any House 
Member who has an interest in testifying to do so. Under normal 
circumstances and pursuant to Committee rules, printed copies 
of the legislation and accompanying committee report or 
conference report are provided to the Committee Members at 
least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
    The Committee gives written notice to its Members and 
notifies the pertinent committee of the scheduled hearing date 
at least 48 hours prior to the commencement of the hearing, 
unless an emergency situation exists.

                              2. HEARINGS

    The Rules Committee chair controls the order in which 
witnesses appear and also initiates the questioning. Typically, 
the chair of the committee of jurisdiction or a designee 
requesting the rule makes a short statement, followed by the 
ranking minority member. Sometimes the subcommittee chair and 
ranking minority member appear on behalf of their full 
committee counterparts on the rule request. It is often the 
case that Members wishing to testify in favor of or in 
opposition to a bill, amendment, or type of procedure may do so 
as part of a panel of witnesses.
    In many cases, the components of the proposed special order 
form the basis for the dialogue between substantive committee 
leaders asking for the rule and the Rules Committee Members. 
More often than not, the questioning escalates into discussions 
about the merits of the bill itself. If the legislation is 
particularly wide-ranging or controversial, Representatives who 
do not sit on the relevant legislative committee seek to 
testify. (Except in the most unusual circumstances, only House 
Members are allowed to testify during a rule request hearing.) 
Questioning of each witness takes place under the five-minute 
rule until each Committee Member has had an opportunity to 
question each witness. Questioning is rather informal. The 
chair rarely enforces the five-minute rule, and Committee 
Members yield to one another to allow their colleagues to make 
a specific point or follow up on a line of questioning.
    A quorum, which exists when at least seven Rules Committee 
members of the 13 are in attendance, must be present before a 
recommendation on a rule can be ordered reported, postponed, or 
tabled.
    After the Committee votes to approve a rule, the chair and 
ranking minority member each assign one of their Members to 
manage the rule on the floor. The majority manager's name 
appears on the rule and report, and that Member usually files 
the rule from the House floor, at which time the resolution and 
report are assigned a number.
    Any Member may ask for a record or a division vote. In the 
past, most decisions of the Committee were made by voice vote, 
but in the last several Congresses there has been an increase 
in the number of record votes demanded. For the entire 100th 
Congress there were 18 roll call votes demanded; in the 101st 
Congress there were 26; in the 102d there were 193; in the 103d 
there were 533; in the 104th there were 327; in the 105th there 
were 104; in the 106th there were 119; in the 107th there were 
176; in the 108th there were 326; in the 109th there were 254; 
in the 110th there were 620; in the 111th there were 517; in 
the 112th there were 366; in the 113th there were 213; in the 
114th there were 221; and in the 115th there were 287. This 
Congress, 363 recorded votes were requested.
    Once a special rule has been reported, the Majority 
Leader--working closely with the Speaker, the Rules Committee 
chair, and the substantive committee chair--decides upon an 
appropriate date and time for the consideration of the rule on 
the floor. Rules can be considered on the same day they are 
reported, if the House agrees to consideration of the rule by a 
two-thirds vote. After a one-day layover, rules may be 
considered at any time without being subject to a question of 
consideration. The Committee may occasionally report a rule 
waiving this requirement with respect to another rule.

                       3. SPECIAL ORDERS OR RULES

a. Background

    Table 1 in the Appendix categorizes all special rules 
granted by the Committee. These special rules are broken down 
into a number of different categories dealing with all stages 
of the legislative process in the House.
    The Rules Committee has granted special rules that provided 
for specified amendment and debate structures, which assisted 
floor managers in managing the schedule. The Committee has also 
granted special rules for the consideration of legislation that 
resolved differences among, and responded to, the legislative 
actions of committees. Some of these rules can also address 
House-Senate relations. The explanations of these types of 
special rules and their methods of categorization are outlined 
below.

b. Categories of Rules Granted with Amendment Structures

    In categorizing special rules that specified an amendment 
structure, this report focuses only on those rules that both 
provided for the initial consideration of bills, joint 
resolutions or budget resolutions and which provided for an 
amending process. Therefore, rules providing for general debate 
only, stopping short of consideration of the measure for 
amendment, or providing for consideration of a conference 
report (which are otherwise privileged and, under regular order 
are non-amendable) are not included in these categories. The 
amendment structure categories are as follows: (1) open rules, 
(2) modified open rules--requiring amendment pre-printing in 
the Congressional Record, (3) structured rules, (4) closed 
rules, (5) senate amendment rules, and (6) conference report 
rules.
    (1) Open Rules. Under an open rule, any Member may offer an 
amendment that complies with the standing rules of the House 
and the Budget Act. The rule itself places no restrictions or 
prohibitions on amendments and provides an equal opportunity 
for all Members to offer amendments.
    (2) Modified Open Rules (Required Amendment Preprinting in 
the Congressional Record). This type of rule permits the 
offering of only those amendments preprinted in the 
Congressional Record. A modified open rule with a preprinting 
requirement could require that amendments be printed in the 
Congressional Record by a specific date (in some cases the 
amendment must be printed before its consideration); in other 
cases, printing must occur before the consideration of the 
bill. In most cases these rules do not prohibit second degree 
amendments. Requiring that amendments be printed in advance of 
their consideration affords Members a better idea of the range 
of issues to be debated and voted on during consideration of 
the bill. This can particularly be true of bills or joint 
resolutions involving complex or confidential matters.
    (3) Structured or Modified Closed Rules. Under a structured 
rule, the Rules Committee limits the amendments that may be 
offered to only those amendments designated in the special rule 
or in the Rules Committee report to accompany the rule, or 
which precludes amendments to a particular portion of a bill, 
even though the rest of the bill may be completely open to 
amendment. In the case of a structured rule, the Chair will 
announce through a one-minute speech on the floor of the House 
and through a ``Dear Colleague'' letter the intention of the 
Committee to hold a hearing on a measure and to review all 
amendments. The Chair requests that Members provide the Rules 
Committee with copies of their proposed amendments in advance 
of the Committee meeting. In some instances, the amendments 
made in order represent all of the amendments submitted to the 
Committee.
    (4) Closed Rules. This type of rule is one under which no 
amendments may be offered from the House floor. Accordant with 
the rules of the House, however, the Rules Committee is 
prohibited from reporting a special rule providing for 
consideration of a bill or joint resolution that denies the 
minority the right to offer amendatory instructions in a motion 
to recommit if offered by the Minority Leader or a designee.
    (5) Senate Amendment Rules. This type of rule generally 
provides for the consideration of a Senate amendment or 
amendments in the House and for a motion to concur in the 
Senate amendment with or without an amendment. These rules also 
usually specify a period of time for debate on the motion 
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the committee of jurisdiction, as well as 
any necessary waivers against consideration of either the 
Senate amendment or against the motion to concur.
    (6) Conference Report Rules. Under the standing rules of 
the House, conference reports are privileged matters. Unless 
the requirement is waived, House rules require that a 
conference report be available for at least three calendar days 
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) before it 
can be called up for consideration. After that time, because it 
is privileged, it can be called up at any time without a rule 
from the Rules Committee. If, however, a conference report is 
in violation of a rule of the House or some extraordinary 
procedure for consideration of the report is desired, a special 
rule may be necessary for the conference report to be 
considered. Consequently, conference report rules generally 
provide waivers of all points of order against consideration of 
the conference report and provide that the conference report be 
considered as read, which effectively waives the three-day 
availability requirement.
    It should be noted that points of order against a 
conference report lie against its consideration, not against 
individual provisions contained within the report. A conference 
report represents the collective agreement of the House and the 
Senate. Changing individual components of the agreement 
violates the sanctity of the agreement itself. Consequently, 
agreeing to a conference report is an all-or-nothing question. 
This is also the reason why, even as privileged matters, 
conference reports are not amendable on the floor of the House 
(except on recommit when applicable).

c. Categories of Rules Granted with Certain Floor Management Tools

    Special rules are often utilized to assist the Majority 
Leader in setting the Floor schedule of the House, as well as 
to equip committee chairs and ranking minority members with the 
special procedural tools necessary to efficiently manage the 
floor consideration of a bill. These categories include (1) 
expedited procedure rules, (2) suspension day rules, and (3) 
chairman's en bloc authority rules.
    (1) Expedited Procedure Rules. This type of rule waives 
clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to 
consider a special rule on the same day it is reported from the 
Rules Committee) against certain resolutions reported from the 
Rules Committee. These rules generally specify the measures or 
object to which the waiver applies, as well as a defined time 
period for its application. These rules are commonly referred 
to as ``same-day'' rules. In some cases the rule will not 
specify the object of the waiver. These rules are referred to 
as ``blanket same-day'' rules.
    (2) Suspension Day Rules. Under House Rule XV, it is in 
order on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week, and 
during the last six days of a session, for the Speaker to 
entertain motions to suspend the rules and pass legislation. 
This category of rule authorizes the Speaker to entertain 
motions to suspend the rules on days other than Mondays, 
Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Generally, these rules specify the 
object that is to be considered under suspension of the rules. 
In some cases the object may not be identified, but the rule 
may provide that the Speaker or their designee shall consult 
with the Minority Leader or their designee on the object of any 
suspension considered under the rule.
    (3) Chair's En Bloc Authority Rules. This category of rule 
authorizes the chair of a committee (usually the majority floor 
manager of the bill under consideration) or his or her designee 
to offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments made in 
order by the special rule that have not earlier been disposed 
of. In most cases, the rule also allows germane modifications 
to any such amendments included in the en bloc amendment only 
by unanimous consent. With the exception of rules on 
appropriations bills (which permit en bloc amendments that do 
not increase budget authority or outlays in the bill), a Member 
seeking to offer amendments en bloc must obtain unanimous 
consent if they amend portions of the bill not yet open to 
amendment, unless a special rule authorizes several amendments 
to be offered and considered as a group. There is usually a 
specified time for divided debate on the amendment and a 
prohibition on amendments to and demands for a division of the 
question on the en bloc amendment. Generally, the original 
sponsor of the amendment must agree to having the amendment 
considered en bloc, and these rules generally provide that the 
original proponent of an amendment included in such an en bloc 
amendment may insert a statement in the Congressional Record 
immediately before the disposition of the en bloc amendment. 
Such a rule enables the floor manager to maximize efficiency 
and consensus while minimizing duplicative floor time and 
consideration.

d. Categories of Rules Granted to Resolve Differences Among and 
        Responding to the Legislative Actions of Committees

    As the nexus of the legislative process in the House, the 
Rules Committee often is the institutional mechanism used to 
reconcile differences in legislative recommendations among 
multiple committees. Two often used, and often misunderstood, 
special rule features utilized to achieve these goals are (1) 
self-executing rules and (2) original text rules.
    (1) Self-Executing Rules. This type of rule provides that, 
upon the adoption of the special rule, the text of a measure is 
modified or amended in some specified manner. Therefore, the 
House's adoption of the rule itself has the effect of amending 
the underlying measure. Occasionally, a self-executing rule may 
also provide for the adoption of other unrelated measures or 
actions, such as adopting another simple resolution, bill, 
joint resolution or conference report. Self-executing rules may 
be utilized by the Rules Committee for a variety of reasons, 
including but not limited to: the correction of rule or Budget 
Act violations; providing for the adoption of the committee-
recommended amendment; the reconciling of multiple committee 
legislative recommendations, the elimination of procedural 
votes; the separation of policy issues; or, the complete 
redrafting of the legislation.
    (2) Original Text Rules. When a committee reports a 
measure, it often will favorably report the measure with a 
recommendation that an amendment or amendments be adopted by 
the full House. These amendments reflect the collegial action 
of the committee on that measure. This type of rule generally 
provides that the committee-recommended amendment be adopted by 
the House and become the base text for the purpose of further 
amendment to the bill. This is often done to acknowledge the 
actions of the committee at the beginning of the consideration 
of a bill, and also to simplify the amendment process.

e. Categories of Rules Granted Dealing with House-Senate Relations

    While resolving differences with the Senate often involves 
privileged motions in the House, the Rules Committee is often 
called upon to expedite such procedural situations or to 
address unique procedural circumstances. The categories of such 
special rules are (1) Senate hook-up rules, (2) motion to go to 
conference rules, (3) engrossment of multiple measures rules, 
and (4) instructing the Clerk regarding the transmittal of 
papers.
    (1) Senate Hook-up Rules. The rules of the House provide 
for three methods of getting to conference with the Senate: (1) 
agreeing to a motion to go to conference by unanimous consent; 
(2) obtaining a special rule from the Rules Committee; or (3) 
receiving specific authorization from each committee that 
received an initial referral of and reported the bill (clause 1 
of Rule XXII). Most often chairmen obtain conference authority 
from their committee at the time a bill is ordered reported. 
Most special rules allowing for a Senate hook-up provide that 
after passage of a House bill, it shall be in order to take a 
specific Senate bill from the Speaker's table, consider it in 
the House, and to move to strike all after the enacting clause 
and insert the text of the House bill as passed by the House. 
These special rules further provide that if the motion is 
adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it 
shall be in order to move that the House insist on its 
amendment and request a conference with the Senate. These hook-
up provisions can either be included in the original rule 
providing for consideration of the House bill or in a separate 
special rule.
    (2) Motion to go to Conference Rules. These special rules 
are those separate rules that provide for the motion to go to 
conference with the Senate, by either disagreeing with the 
Senate position and requesting a conference or insisting on the 
House position and agreeing to a conference.
    (3) Engrossment of Multiple Measures Rules. These types of 
special rules generally provide for separate consideration and 
final passage votes on multiple bills, generally relating to a 
similar issue. The rule then instructs the House Clerk to 
engross the individually-passed bills into one bill before 
transmitting them to the Senate for consideration.
    (4) Instructing the Clerk Regarding the Transmittal of 
Papers. These types of special rules instruct the Clerk to 
withhold the transmittal of papers until the Clerk is notified 
of certain actions taken by the other body. This is done to 
address timing issues related to the passage or consideration 
of measures by the Senate.

f. Categories of Rules Granted with Certain Housekeeping Tools

    Special rules are often utilized to assist House Leadership 
and committees with housekeeping elements to ensure the smooth 
running of House floor operations generally during constituent 
work breaks.
    (1) Providing Procedures for Pro Forma Sessions. During 
periods when the House is unable to adjourn pursuant to a 
concurrent resolution, the Rules Committee will sometimes 
provide the chair with additional authority to manage required 
pro forma sessions. This authority may include allowing the 
chair to adjourn on his or her own, to toll periods for 
consideration of certain privileged matters, and other similar 
tools to provide for the orderly conduct of pro forma sessions 
during district work periods.
    (2) Report Filing Authority. When a committee favorably 
reports a measure, it must file an accompanying report 
describing the purpose and scope of the legislation and the 
reasons for recommended approval. This tool allows for the 
filing of these reports from specific committees on days when 
the House is not otherwise in session.

                4. FLOOR CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL RULE

    When the time comes to call up a special rule, the majority 
member who filed the rule (a privileged House resolution), or 
another majority member of the Rules Committee designated by 
the chair, is recognized by the Speaker. That Member stands at 
the majority committee table on the House Floor. Once 
recognized, the member states:
    ``M__. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I 
call up House Resolution __, and ask for its immediate 
consideration.''
    Any Member of the Committee on Rules may be recognized to 
call up a rule that has been on the House Calendar for at least 
seven legislative days, and the Speaker is required to 
recognize the Rules Committee member as a privilege, as long as 
the member has given one day's notice of an intent to seek 
recognition for that purpose.
    Once the Clerk has read the resolution, the Speaker 
recognizes the majority Rules Committee member handling the 
rule for one hour. The majority floor manager then customarily 
yields thirty minutes to a minority counterpart for the 
purposes of debate only. The length of debate on the rule 
varies according to the complexity of the rule and the degree 
of controversy over the bill.
    Since a rule is considered in the House under the hour 
rule, no amendments are in order unless the majority floor 
manager offers an amendment or yields to another member for 
that purpose. At the conclusion of debate on the rule, the 
floor manager moves the previous question. If no objection is 
heard, the House proceeds to vote on the rule. If objection is 
heard, a vote occurs on the previous question. If the previous 
question is rejected, however, a member who opposed the 
previous question (usually the Rules Committee minority floor 
manager) is recognized. That Member then controls one hour of 
debate time on the rule. The member controlling the time may 
offer an amendment to the rule and then move the previous 
question on the amendment and on the rule when debate has 
concluded. Once the rule is adopted (with or without 
amendments), the legislation it concerns is eligible for 
consideration under the terms of the rule.

                 5. RULES REJECTED, TABLED, OR PENDING

    In the 116th Congress, the Committee on Rules reported 77 
rules, all of which were adopted by the House. During the 116th 
Congress, no rules were rejected or tabled by the House. There 
were no rules pending at the end of the 116th Congress.

a. Rules Rejected by the House

    There were no rules rejected by the House during the 116th 
Congress.

b. Rules Tabled by the House

    There were no rules tabled by the House during the 116th 
Congress.

c. Rules Pending

    There were no rules pending in the House during the 116th 
Congress.

            6. EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS OF ALL POINTS OF ORDER

    The Committee on Rules customarily provides waivers of all 
points of order when constructing special rules for the 
consideration of measures. This is commonly referred to as a 
``blanket waiver'' or ``prophylactic waiver'' because in most 
cases there are no applicable points of order against the 
measure. Just because a special rule includes a blanket waiver 
does not mean that points of order lie against any of the 
measures made in order or provisions contained in those 
measures; rather, blanket waivers ensure the immediate 
consideration of the underlying measure by providing the chair 
with the ability to easily dispense with dilatory or specious 
points of order by asserting that, ``pursuant to the previous 
order of the House, all points of order are waived.''
    Also, as part of the Committee's role as scheduler for the 
House, it is the Committee's responsibility to ensure that when 
a majority of the House votes in favor of considering a measure 
notwithstanding any technical or substantive violations of the 
rules, a point of order would not prevent that measure's 
consideration.
    It is important to note that any specific waivers contained 
in a waiver of all points of order are required under clause 
7(g) of rule XIII to be specified in the Rules Committee report 
accompanying the resolution and are also compiled in this 
report.

                       7. WAIVERS OF HOUSE RULES

    The following compilation identifies the Rules of the House 
that were waived in specific resolutions and the legislation 
that required the waiver. There is also an indication whether 
the rule was waived against the bill (B), original text (OT), 
amendments (A), the number of which is indicated in [ ], a 
motion (M), a conference report (CR), or provisions (P); items 
accompanied by an asterisk (*) denote measures that the waiver 
with which they were granted in the committee report 
accompanying the resolution was not applied.

                    8. WAIVERS OF BUDGET ENFORCEMENT

    The following compilation identifies the sections of the 
Budget Act that were waived in specific resolutions and the 
legislation that required the waiver. There is also an 
indication whether the rule was waived against the bill (B), 
the original text (OT), amendments (A), a motion (M), a 
conference report (CR), or provisions (P); items accompanied by 
two asterisks (**) denote measures that the waiver with which 
they were granted in the committee report accompanying the 
resolution was not necessary due to the House subsequently 
adopting an amendment(s) that cured the need for such waiver.

 Section 302(f)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act--Prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget
                     authority in excess of a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such authority

            2. ORIGINAL JURISDICTION FULL COMMITTEE HEARINGS

a. Hearing on H.R. 1384, Medicare for All Act of 2019

    On April 30, 2019, the Committee on Rules held a hearing on 
H.R. 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019. The following 
witnesses testified: Dr. Dean Baker, Mr. Ady Barkan, Dr. 
Charles Blahous, Dr. Doris Browne, Dr. Sara Collins, Dr. Farzon 
Nahvi, and Ms. Grace-Marie Turner.
    At the time of this hearing, there were about 29 million 
uninsured Americans and 44 million underinsured Americans. The 
United States spends about twice as much as other high-income 
nations on health care, despite having the lowest life 
expectancy and the highest infant mortality rates. Our health 
care system faces issues with high costs, bad outcomes, 
bureaucracy and racial and geographic disparities. Private 
insurance companies are making an excessive profit. Health care 
is a human right and should prevent countless individuals and 
families from going broke due to medical costs. The Affordable 
Care Act, which passed in March of 2010, gave 20 million more 
people access to health coverage. It banned insurance companies 
from discriminating against cancer patients and women and made 
sure that health plans covered essential benefits. This was a 
first step toward ensuring that all Americans have access to 
adequate and affordable health care.
    Congresswoman Jayapal (D-WA), along with Congresswoman 
Dingell (D-MI) and 105 additional original cosponsors, 
introduced H.R. 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019 on 
February 27, 2019. It was referred to the Committees on Energy 
and Commerce, Ways and Means, Education and Labor, Oversight 
and Reform, Armed Services and Rules.
    If H.R. 1384 became law, this legislation would provide 
health care insurance to all Americans, it would create a pre-
paid health system that covered a robust set of services for no 
additional cost. It would ensure that no person would go broke 
if they or a loved one gets sick. This legislation would 
eliminate out-of-pocket costs and surprise bills. Currently, 
the U.S.'s private insurance system leads to high 
administration and other system costs. H.R. 1384 would 
drastically reduce administrative costs, saving money for the 
system. The bill would ensure everyone a comprehensive set of 
health benefits that captures the ACA's essential benefits and 
adds other services such as hearing, vision, dental, and long-
term care services.
    On Tuesday, April 30th, 2019, the Committee on Rules held a 
hearing for consideration of H.R. 1384. This was the first 
Congressional hearing on Medicare for All.  Members suggested 
that all the committees of jurisdiction conduct hearings on 
this bill. The Committee considered ways a single payer health 
system could improve health care delivery in America. Debate 
included but was not limited to the government's role in health 
care administration, the limitations of the current health care 
system, including Medicare and Medicaid, and the benefits of 
single-payer system. Discussion explored the benefits of the 
Affordable Care Act and the strides it made in improving health 
care delivery. Participants also debated the cost of Medicare 
for All and the quality of health care under Medicare for All, 
including for example, the ability to choose one's doctor and 
the possibility of a longer wait time for care.
    Testimony was received from the following witnesses, Mr. 
Ady Barkan, Founder, Be a Hero Organization; Dr. Charles 
Blahous, J. Fish and Lillian F. Smith Chair and Senior Research 
Strategist, Mercatus Center; Dr. Dean Baker, Senior Economist, 
Center for Economic and Policy Research; Ms. Grace-Marie 
Turner, President, Galen Institute; Dr. Sara Collins, Vice 
President for Health Care Coverage and Access, The Commonwealth 
Fund; Dr. Doris Browne, Immediate Past-President, National 
Medical Association; Dr. Farzon Nahvi, Emergency Room 
Physician.

b. Hearing on Article I: Constitutional Perspectives on the 
        Responsibility and Authority of the Legislative Branch

    The framers designed a government that divides power among 
the three branches. The Constitution keeps officials both 
accountable to the public and in competition with each other in 
order to create a system of checks and balances.
    Overtime, Congress has granted discretionary authority to 
Executive Branch actors while retaining its power to conduct 
vigorous oversight of the Executive Branch and to rescind any 
discretionary authorities as Congress--and the People--deem 
appropriate.
    On Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020 the Rules Committee held a 
hearing entitled, Article I: Constitutional Perspectives on the 
Responsibility and Authority of the Legislative Branch. This 
bipartisan hearing allowed Members from both side of the aisle 
to set aside their political parties to focus on the 
responsibilities of the Legislative Branch.
    Members, historians, and constitutional experts engaged in 
a conversation on issues such as Executive Branch rulemaking, 
the Power of the Purse, the National Emergencies Act, the Arms 
Export Control Act and the War Powers Resolution, among other 
topics. Participants also discussed ways for Congress to regain 
some of its ceded authority in order restore a more appropriate 
balance between the three branches that closer aligns to the 
Founders' vision and works better for the American people.
    Testimony was received from the following witnesses: Laura 
Belmonte, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Human 
Sciences, Professor of History at Virginia Tech; Matthew 
Spalding, Vice President of Washington Operations and Dean of 
the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale 
College's Washington, D.C. campus; Deborah Pearlstein, 
Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School in New York City; 
Saikrishna Prakash, Professor of Law at the University of 
Virginia.

c. Members' Day Hearing on Proposed Rules Changes for the 117th 
        Congress

    Every other year the Rules Committee is tasked with writing 
the Rules of the House for the upcoming Congress. On Opening 
Day of the new Congress, the House votes on the Rules package, 
thereby adopting the Rules of House of Representatives for that 
Congress. In recent Congresses it has become tradition that the 
Rules Committee solicit ideas from the full House for Rules 
changes and hold a Member Day hearing for Members to testify on 
behalf of their proposals.
    On October 1, 2020, the Committee on Rules held an open 
hearing to receive Member testimony on proposed changes to the 
Rules of the House of Representatives for the 117th Congress. 
The Committee heard testimony or received statements from the 
following Members of Congress: Hon. Joaquin Castro (TX), Hon. 
Emanuel Cleaver (MO), Hon. Ben Cline (VA), Hon. Charlie Crist 
(FL), Hon. James E. Clyburn (SC), Hon. Sharice Davids (KS), 
Hon. Rodney Davis (IL), Hon. Anna G. Eshoo (CA), Hon. Tom 
Graves (GA), Hon. Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Hon. Steny H. Hoyer 
(MD), Hon. Derek Kilmer (WA), Hon. James R. Langevin (RI), Hon. 
Ted Lieu (CA), Hon. Stephanie N. Murphy (FL), Hon. Katie Porter 
(CA), Hon. Kathleen Rice (NY), Hon. Bradley Scott Schneider 
(IL), Hon. Van Taylor (TX), Hon. Bennie G. Thompson (MS), Hon. 
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), and Hon. Rob Woodall (GA).
    The Committee engaged with members in conversations on a 
wide range of topics. Majority Leader Hoyer, Majority Whip 
Clyburn, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) testified in 
favor of reinstating the practice of Congressionally directed 
spending, arguing that the power of the purse is solely the 
responsibility of the legislative branch. Members of the Select 
Committee on the Modernization of Congress, including Chair 
Derek Kilmer (WA) and Vice Chair Tom Graves (GA) advocated for 
improving technological capabilities of the House, in the 
effort to increase transparency and efficiency. The Committee 
also discussed possible reforms to the procedural Motion to 
Recommit tool, as well as suggested modifications to the 
resolution providing for the use of remote voting in response 
to the COVID-19 pandemic.

               3. ORIGINAL JURISDICTION MEASURES REPORTED

a. H. Res. 430, Authorizing the Committee on the Judiciary to initiate 
        or intervene in judicial proceedings to enforce certain 
        subpoenas and for other purposes.

    During the 116th Congress, in performing its constitutional 
duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch, the House of 
Representatives was met with unprecedented stonewalling and 
obstruction by the White House and Trump Administration. From 
protecting Americans' access to health care and responding to 
natural disasters, to protecting our clean air and water, the 
Trump Administration failed to provide the information the 
People's House required to conduct oversight of these crucial 
issues. Obstructing oversight in these areas impaired the 
ability of the Congress to have sufficient information to 
legislate effectively and efficiently on behalf of the American 
people.
    It is because of this unprecedented stonewalling by the 
Trump Administration that the House took the rare and important 
step to consider a resolution authorizing the Judiciary 
Committee to enforce its duly issued subpoenas relating to the 
vitally important Mueller Report and reaffirming that all 
committees have the ability, when authorized by the House or 
the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), to turn to the 
Federal courts to enforce its subpoenas to get the information 
they need to conduct effective oversight.
    Chairman McGovern introduced House Resolution 430 on June 
6, 2019. H. Res. 430 authorized the Committee on the Judiciary 
to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings in Federal 
court to seek enforcement of its duly issued subpoenas to 
former White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn, II, and Attorney 
General William Barr.
    The second resolved clause of H. Res. 430 reaffirmed that 
committee chairs, when authorized by the BLAG, retain the 
ability to bring litigation in Federal court to enforce their 
subpoenas. While the full House can vote to authorize a 
committee to seek relief from federal courts to enforce a 
subpoena duly issued by that committee, it is also important to 
note that this is not the only avenue for such authorization 
available to a committee. Pursuant to clause 8(b) of rule II of 
the House of Representatives, the BLAG, comprised of the 
Speaker and the majority and minority leadership, speaks for 
and articulates the institutional position of the House in all 
litigation matters; this includes authorizing a committee to 
seek civil enforcement of its duly issued subpoena. Use of the 
BLAG to authorize a committee to seek relief from a federal 
court to enforce a subpoena duly issued by that committee is 
instrumental in ensuring the House is able to protect its 
constitutional duty to conduct effective oversight of the 
Executive Branch. Given the unprecedented and systemic way in 
which the Trump Administration refused to comply with duly 
issued congressional subpoenas, there was no reason to believe 
the Executive Branch would change course. As such, the BLAG, 
speaking for the House, provided the most efficient way for the 
House to combat this widespread and unprecedented obstruction, 
providing committees an avenue to enforce their subpoenas, 
while still providing the institution with the time to pursue 
its other constitutional duties.
    The systemic and widespread nature of the obstruction by 
the Trump Administration, if allowed to go unchecked, meant the 
end of Congressional oversight and the erosion of the 
fundamental bedrock principle of checks and balances that 
anchors our Constitution and form of government. During the 
116th Congress, the Democratic Majority and the Rules 
Committee, remained committed to defending Congress' power as 
an independent branch of government to hold this or any 
administration accountable. H. Res. 430 was considered to 
further that important goal.
    On June 10, 2019, the Rules Committee met in open session 
to markup H. Res. 430. The Committee ordered the bill favorably 
reported, as amended, by a vote of 8 to 4 and filed its report 
(H. Re pt. 116-109), with the House on the same day.
    The following amendments were offered during the 
Committee's markup:
          1. Motion by Mr. Cole to postpone consideration of H. 
        Res. 430 indefinitely, pursuant to clause 4(a)(7) of 
        House Rule XVI. Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          2. Rep. Cole amendment to require that before the 
        chair of the Committee on the Judiciary seeks such 
        relief as described in the first resolved clause, he 
        certify in writing to the Clerk of the House that he 
        has personally reviewed all official Government reports 
        related to the subpoena that is the subject of the 
        resolution accompanying House Report 116-105. Defeated: 
        4 yeas to 8 nays.
          3. Rep. Cole amendment to require that before the 
        chair of the Committee on the Judiciary seeks such 
        relief as described in the first resolving clause the 
        chair shall certify in writing to the Clerk of the 
        House of Representatives that he has made a good faith 
        effort to negotiate with the Attorney General regarding 
        such subpoena. Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          4. Rep. Lesko amendment to require that the Office of 
        General Counsel of the House of Representatives shall 
        periodically report to the House of Representatives the 
        expenditures incurred with respect to any judicial 
        proceeding initiated or intervened in pursuant to the 
        authority described in the first resolving clause. 
        Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          5. Rep. Burgess amendment to provide that the Office 
        of General Counsel of the House of Representatives may 
        not hire any person who is a registered lobbyist under 
        the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 or who is employed 
        by a lobbying firm (as such term is defined in section 
        3 of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 
        1602)). Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          6. Rep. Cole amendment to require that in the case of 
        any judicial proceeding initiated or intervened in 
        pursuant to the authority described in the first 
        resolving clause, the Office of General Counsel of the 
        House of Representatives shall provide to the 
        Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, and make available to 
        any Member of the House of Representatives upon 
        request, a description of, in the opinion of the 
        General Counsel, the likelihood of success on the 
        merits and strategy for addressing the decision of the 
        Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 
        McKeever v. Barr No. 17-5149 (D.C. Cir. 2019). 
        Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          7. Rep. Woodall amendment to provide that 10 days 
        prior to hiring a lawyer or a consultant for the 
        purpose of initiating or intervening in a judicial 
        proceeding pursuant to the authority described in the 
        first or second resolving clause, the Office of General 
        Counsel of the House of Representatives shall provide 
        to the Clerk of the House of Representatives and make 
        available to any Member of the House of Representatives 
        upon request the intended contract containing the terms 
        of hire. Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          8. Rep. Burgess amendment to require that in the case 
        of any judicial proceeding initiated or intervened in 
        pursuant to the authority described in the first or 
        second resolving clause, the chair of the relevant 
        committee shall provide to the Clerk of the House of 
        Representatives and make available to any Member of the 
        House of Representatives upon request the source of the 
        funds used to pay the costs associated with such 
        judicial proceeding, including any corresponding 
        reduction in the budget of any office or committee. 
        Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
    A section-by-section analysis of H. Res. 430 as reported by 
the Committee is as follow:
    The first resolved clause provides independent authority 
for the chair of the Committee on the Judiciary, on behalf of 
the Committee, to initiate or intervene in any judicial 
proceeding before a Federal court to seek enforcement of the 
subpoenas duly issued to William P. Barr, Attorney General, 
U.S. Department of Justice, and Donald F. McGahn, II, former 
White House Counsel.
    The second resolved clause reaffirms that the chair of each 
standing and permanent select committee, when authorized by the 
Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, retains the ability to 
initiate or intervene in any judicial proceeding before a 
Federal court on behalf of such committee, to seek the 
enforcement of any subpoena duly issued by the committee.
    The third resolved clause ensures that in connection with 
any judicial proceedings brought under the authorities 
described, the chair of any standing or permanent select 
committee has any and all necessary authority under Article I 
of the Constitution.
    The fourth resolved clause requires that the chair of any 
standing or permanent select committee notify the House with 
respect to the commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant 
to the authorities described.
    The fifth resolved clause allows the Office of the General 
Counsel, when authorized by the Speaker, to represent any 
standing or permanent select committee in any judicial 
proceeding initiated or intervened in pursuant to the authority 
described in the resolution.
    The sixth resolved clause provides that the Office of the 
General Counsel is authorized to retain private counsel, either 
for pay or pro bono, to assist in the representation of any 
standing or select committee in any judicial proceeding 
initiated or intervened in pursuant to the authorities 
described in the resolution.

b. H. Res. 660, Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing 
        investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives 
        inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of 
        Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach 
        Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, 
        and for other purposes

    Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 of the United States 
Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall 
have the sole power of impeachment.'' During the Constitutional 
impeachment process, the House of Representatives serves the 
role of a grand jury, bringing charges against a federal 
officer suspected of ``Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes 
and Misdemeanors.'' Impeachment is a powerful, and thus rarely 
used, Constitutional remedy providing the People's House with 
the most profound check on the Presidency and one of the 
mightiest safeguards for constitutional democracy.
    Throughout our nation's history, the House has undertaken 
impeachment proceedings against only three Presidents, while 
only voting to impeach two of those Presidents. In 1868, 
following sustained Presidential resistance to Congressional 
Reconstruction, the House impeached President Andrew Johnson 
for violating the Tenure of Office Act and calling Congress 
into disrepute. In 1974, following the infamous Watergate 
scandal, the House Committee on the Judiciary approved articles 
of impeachment against President Richard M. Nixon for 
obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and obstruction of 
Congress. (President Nixon resigned before those articles were 
put to a vote by the full House.) Finally, in 1998, following 
receipt of a report from Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, the 
House impeached President William J. Clinton for obstruction of 
justice and perjury. Each of these impeachment proceedings 
arose from Presidential conduct determined by a majority of the 
House to involve serious wrongdoing that imperiled the rule of 
law.
    President Donald John Trump became only the fourth 
President in history to face formal impeachment proceedings, 
and ultimately become just the third President to be impeached 
by the House of Representatives.
    The impeachment process against a president traditionally 
begins with an impeachment inquiry. The purpose of an 
impeachment inquiry is to gather evidence to determine whether 
the president may have committed an impeachable offense, and 
consequently whether the House should draft and adopt articles 
of impeachment. Following allegations of wronging doing by 
President Trump in his dealing with the government of Ukraine, 
several House committees began investigations. Specifically, in 
exercise of its oversight and legislative authorities, the 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), in 
coordination with the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the 
Committee on Oversight and Reform, led a fact-finding 
investigation of the President's use of the power and 
instruments of the presidency and the federal government for 
his personal political gain.
    The Trump Administration challenged this inquiry's 
legitimacy, asserting that it is improper or unconstitutional 
for the committees to conduct an impeachment inquiry absent an 
authorizing vote of the full House. This assertion has no basis 
in the text of the Constitution, House rules, past precedent, 
or any other authority. As noted above, the House possess the 
``sole power of impeachment.'' Furthermore, the Constitution 
provides that each ``House may determine the Rules of its 
Proceedings.'' As such, neither the Constitution nor House 
rules requires that the full House vote to authorize an 
inquiry.
    Much of these committees' initial investigative and 
oversight work was initially conducted behind closed doors. The 
reason for this process was simple: unlike previous impeachment 
inquiries, the House itself was tasked with initially 
investigating the allegations against the President. The Nixon 
impeachment inquiry proceeded out of public view for several 
months--starting in October 1973. The House did not vote to 
authorize an impeachment inquiry until February 6, 1974. With 
regard to the Clinton impeachment inquiry, the Independent 
Counsel Kenneth Starr transmitted his report to the House of 
Representatives on September 9, 1998. Two days later, the House 
adopted H. Res. 525 to allow the Judiciary Committee to review 
the report behind closed doors before releasing it to the 
public and ``to determine whether sufficient grounds exist to 
recommend to the House that an impeachment inquiry be 
commenced.'' The House adopted a resolution authorizing an 
inquiry nearly a month later on October 8, 2019.
    The impeachment inquiry into the conduct of President Trump 
had to differ from the previous two presidential impeachment 
inquiries in one fundamental respect, however: the House was 
conducting a significant portion of the factual investigation 
itself as it related to the Ukraine matter. In the impeachment 
inquiries of both President Nixon and Clinton, the House relied 
upon an investigation conducted by third-parties, such as the 
Watergate Special Prosecutor's Office investigation and the 
Senate Select Committee investigation into President Nixon, and 
the Independent Counsel investigation into President Clinton. 
Where, as in the case of investigating the conduct of President 
Trump, there is no such third-party to conduct the 
investigation, the House, through its committees, must conduct 
the initial factfinding investigation with regards to the 
Ukraine matter.
    In a continuation of these investigative efforts, on 
October 29, 2019, Chairman McGovern introduced H. Res. 660, 
directing certain committees to continue their ongoing 
investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives 
inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of 
Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach 
Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, 
and for other purposes. This resolution represented the next, 
public-facing phase of the impeachment inquiry process.
    It is important to note that H. Res. 660 was not required 
to conduct an official impeachment inquiry into the conduct of 
the President. As noted above, neither the Constitution nor 
House rules requires that the full House vote on a resolution 
to authorize an inquiry. In fact, as discussed, at the time of 
consideration of H. Res. 660, numerous committees had already 
been engaged in ongoing impeachment inquiries into President 
Trump's conduct. Rather, H. Res. 660 was a prudent step to 
provide a framework for the public-facing portion of this 
ongoing inquiry. This public-facing process was an important 
step to provide necessary transparency and accountability to 
the American people for what is an awesome power of the House 
of Representatives: the impeachment of the President of the 
United States.
    Under the framework provided by H. Res. 660, HPSCI was 
directed to continue its fact-finding investigation into the 
Ukraine matter, including the procedures for public hearings 
with witness who may have information regarding President 
Trump's conduct. Then, HPSCI was directed to report to the 
Committee on the Judiciary in connection with that matter. The 
Judiciary Committee, as a matter of precedent, is responsible 
for considering and potentially recommending articles of 
impeachment to the full House. Articles of impeachment 
introduced in the House are by parliamentary precedent referred 
to the Committee on the Judiciary. H. Res. 660 laid out the 
procedures that this process would take place and by which the 
public phase of House's ongoing impeachment inquiry, including 
how Judiciary Committees receiving the investigative report 
from HPSCI and its potential consideration of articles of 
impeachment, would proceed.
    Critically, the House's impeachment inquiry process--both 
before and after enactment of the H. Res. 660--and the 
additional framework provided by the resolution, was 
commensurate with the inquiry process followed in the cases of 
President Nixon and President Clinton. As a tool so rarely 
used, to lend credibility and integrity to the process, it is 
important to follow precedent as closely as possible--taking 
into account varying circumstances--when considering impeaching 
the President of the United States.
    On October 30, 2019, the Rules Committee met in open 
session to markup H. Res. 660. The Committee ordered the 
resolution favorably reported, as amended, by a vote of 8 to 4 
and filed its report (H. Rept. 116-266), with the House on the 
same day.
    The following amendments were offered during the 
Committee's markup:
          1. Rep. Woodall amendment to strike all except 
        Section 4. Defeated: 4-9
          2. Rep. Burgess amendment to strike the Committees on

        detailing the nature and scope of their investigations. 
        Defeated: 4-9
          4. Rep. Woodall amendment to apply language requiring

        questioning time. Defeated: 4-9
          6. Rep. Lesko amendment to allow the minority to call 
        at least an equal number of witnesses and to authorize 
        the ranking minority member to require as deemed 
        necessary, by subpoena or otherwise, the attendance and 
        testimony of any person and the production of records 
        and other materials. Defeated: 4-9
          7. Rep. Cole amendment to strike the section 
        requiring written justification from the ranking

          8. Rep. Cole amendment to require the chair to 
        provide the ranking minority member written 
        justification of the relevance of the testimony of each 
        witness whose testimony is requested or required. 
        Defeated: 4-9
          9. Rep. Woodall amendment to add language that 
        provides the ranking minority members of the House 
        Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the 
        Committee on the Judiciary with the authority to issue 
        the same number of subpoenas as their respective 
        chairs. Defeated: 4-9
          10. Rep. Cole amendment to allow the ranking minority

        of rule XI. Defeated: 4-9
    A section-by-section analysis of H. Res. 660 as reported by 
the Committee is as follow:
    Resolved clause
    The first section of the resolution directs the Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence (''Select Committee'') and the 
Committees on Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, the 
Judiciary, Oversight and Reform, and Ways and Means to continue 
their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House 
inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to 
exercise its Constitutional power to impeach President Trump.
    Section two--Open and transparent investigative proceedings 
by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
    Section two provides procedures under which the Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence may conduct themselves for the 
purpose of continuing their ongoing investigation as part of 
the existing House inquiry into whether sufficient grounds 
exist for the House to exercise its Constitutional power to 
impeach President Trump.
    It directs the chair of the Select Committee to designate 
one or more open hearings pursuant to the section and provides 
a specific process for questioning witnesses in those hearings, 
notwithstanding clause 2(j)(2) of rule XI. At the start of 
questioning the chair announces how many minutes the chair and 
ranking minority member are permitted to question the witness 
during that round, longer than five minutes and up to 45 
minutes per side. The time available for each period of 
questioning must be equal for the chair and ranking minority 
member. Only the chair and ranking minority member, or a Select 
Committee employee, if yielded to by the chair or ranking 
member, may question witnesses during these periods. The chair 
may announce additional rounds using the same process. 
Following these extended questioning periods, the committee 
will proceed with questioning by members of the committee under 
the five-minute rule.
    The section also provides that the ranking minority member 
of the Select Committee may submit written requests for witness 
testimony to the chair within 72 hours after notice is given 
for the first open hearing held pursuant to these procedures. 
The requested witness testimony must be relevant to the 
investigation described in the first section and must be 
accompanied by a detailed written justification of the 
relevance of such testimony. This notice requirement will allow 
for a full evaluation of minority witness requests.
    The section authorizes the ranking minority member of the 
Select Committee, in concurrence with the chair of the 
committee, to require, as deemed necessary to the 
investigation--by subpoena or otherwise--the attendance and 
testimony of any person (including at the taking of a 
deposition), the production of documents, and by interrogatory, 
the furnishing of information. If the chair declines to concur 
in a proposed action of the ranking minority member, the 
ranking minority member shall have the right to refer to the 
committee for decision the question of whether such authority 
shall be exercised and the chair shall convene the committee 
promptly to render that decision, subject to the notice 
requirements and goodcause exception for a committee meeting 
under clause 2(g)(3)(A) and (B) of rule XI. Subpoenas and 
interrogatories authorized by this section may be signed by the 
ranking minority member and may be served by any person 
designated by the ranking member. This language is based on 
language found in the Clinton and Nixon impeachment inquiry 
resolutions, H. Res. 581 (105th) and H. Res. 803 (93rd), 
respectively, but is updated to conform with changes to 
subpoena rules in the House (clause 2(m) of rule XI), which now 
confer subpoena authority to committees and, by delegation, the 
chair.
    The section authorizes the chair of the Select Committee to 
make transcripts of depositions conducted by the Select 
Committee in furtherance of its investigation publicly 
available in electronic form, with appropriate redactions for 
classified and other sensitive information.
    The section also directs the Select Committee to act 
collegially to issue a report with its findings and any 
recommendations, appending any appropriate information and 
materials with respect to their investigation. The report must 
be prepared in consultation with the chairs of the Committees 
on Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Reform. The chair of the 
Select Committee is directed to transmit the committee report 
and appendices, along with any views filed pursuant to clause 
2(l) of rule XI, to the Committee on the Judiciary and to make 
the report publicly available in electronic form, with 
appropriate redactions to any part of the report to protect 
classified and other sensitive information.
    Section three--Transmission of additional materials
    Section three authorizes the chair of the Permanent Select 
Committee, or the chair of any other committee, having custody 
of records or other materials related to the House impeachment 
inquiry referenced in the first section of the resolution, to 
transfer such records or materials to the Judiciary Committee, 
in consultation with the ranking minority member.
    Section four--Impeachment inquiry procedures in the 
Committee on the Judiciary Section four provides for the 
procedures under which the Judiciary Committee is authorized to 
conduct the impeachment inquiry. The section authorizes the 
Committee to conduct proceedings relating to the impeachment 
inquiry pursuant to the procedures, including those that allow 
for the participation of the President and his counsel, issued 
by the chair of the Committee on Rules and printed in the 
Congressional Record on October 29, 2019.
    The Judiciary Committee is also authorized to promulgate 
additional procedures for hearings held pursuant to the 
resolution as it deems necessary, provided that they are not 
inconsistent with the procedures inserted in the Congressional 
Record by the chair of the Committee on Rules on October 29, 
2019, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of the House.
    In identical language to the subpoena power referenced in 
section two, the section also authorizes the ranking member of 
the Judiciary Committee, in concurrence with the chair of the 
committee, to require, as deemed necessary to the 
investigation--by subpoena or otherwise--the attendance and 
testimony of any person (including at the taking of a 
deposition), the production of documents, and by interrogatory, 
the furnishing of information. If the chair declines to concur 
in a proposed action of the ranking minority member, the 
ranking minority member shall have the right to refer to the 
committee for decision the question of whether such authority 
shall be exercised and the chair shall convene the committee 
promptly to render that decision, subject to notice 
requirements and good-cause exception for a committee meeting 
under clause 2(g)(3)(A) and (B) of rule XI. Subpoenas and 
interrogatories authorized by this section may be signed by the 
ranking minority member and may be served by any person 
designated by the ranking member. Like the identical language 
found in section two, it is based on subpoena language found in 
the regulations promulgated to govern the procedures of the 
Clinton and Nixon impeachment inquiries, H. Res. 581 (105th) 
and H. Res. 803 (93rd), respectively. The language has been 
updated to conform with changes to subpoena rules in the House 
(clause 2(m) of rule XI), which now confer subpoena authority 
to committees and, by delegation, to the chair.
    Section 4(c)(2) of the resolution provides that the chair 
of the Judiciary Committee may schedule a meeting to consider a 
subpoena or interrogatory request of the ranking minority 
member which has been declined and referred to the Judiciary 
Committee, in accordance with the committee meeting notice 
requirements and good cause exception contained in House rule 
XI. This provision supersedes the committee meeting notice 
requirements contained in rule II of the Judiciary Committee's 
Rules of Procedure. In addition, paragraph B.3 of the Judiciary 
Committee Impeachment Inquiry Procedures (inserted into the 
Congressional Record by the chair of the Committee on Rules on 
October 29, 2019) permits the chair of the Judiciary Committee 
to schedule a meeting to consider a request by the President's 
counsel for the Judiciary Committee to receive additional 
testimony or evidence in accordance with the committee meeting 
notice requirements and good cause exception contained in House 
rule XI, notwithstanding rule II of the Judiciary Committee's 
Rules of Procedure. Paragraph E of the impeachment inquiry 
procedures allows the chair to provide notice of other meetings 
as well as hearings being held pursuant to such impeachment 
inquiry procedures consistent with the House rule XI notice 
requirements and good cause exceptions, in this case, so long 
as there are at least twenty-four hours' notice of the same. 
Again, this paragraph operates notwithstanding the committee 
meeting notice requirements contained in rule II of the 
Judiciary Committee's Rules of Procedure.
    Finally, the section requires that the Judiciary Committee 
report to the House such resolutions, articles of impeachment, 
or other recommendations as it deems proper.

c. H. Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of 
        Representatives and providing for official remote committee 
        proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel 
        coronavirus, and for other purposes.

    On December 31, 2019, a new virus detected in Wuhan, China 
was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). By 
early March, the new virus had spread around the globe and the 
WHO officially declared the 2019 novel coronavirus, known as 
COVID-19, to be a pandemic.
    On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first case of the novel 
coronavirus in the United States and on February 29, 2020, the 
first U.S. death from the virus was reported. From that point 
to the end of the 116th Congress, the United States suffered 
millions of cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths from 
COVID-19. In response to the pandemic outbreak in the U.S., 
most states and municipalities took action to slow the spread 
of the virus, including ordering the closing of nonessential 
businesses and issuing stay-at-home orders. At the federal 
level, the White House and the CDC issued social distancing 
guidance and recommendations for a phased reopening of states 
when conditions improved.
    As social distancing and stay-at-home orders became the 
norm to slow the spread of this pandemic, government 
institutions in the United States, and throughout the world, 
were forced to rethink how they operate, including establishing 
procedures to allow for remote voting to ensure they are able 
to pass legislation required to respond to the ongoing 
pandemic. For example, over a dozen state legislatures and the 
District of Columbia instituted some form of remote voting for 
members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Arizona, California, 
Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Minnesota, New Jersey, 
New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Washington 
legislatures established remote voting by telephone, video 
conference, or other electronic means. In addition, Arkansas, 
Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania instituted remote voting 
via proxy for their members. Even the Supreme Court of the 
United States, for the first time in its history, began hearing 
oral arguments by telephone.
    Many other countries also implemented remote voting in 
their legislatures, including Argentina, Azerbaijan, Brazil, 
China, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Spain, 
Taiwan, and the European Union Parliament. In addition, the 
legislatures of France and New Zealand utilized remote voting 
by proxy during this pandemic.
    The United States House of Representatives was not immune 
from the life altering realities of the pandemic. The 
operations of the House were affected by social distancing, 
isolation, and stay-at-home orders that have captured every 
corner of the nation, making travel to, and physical attendance 
in, the House Chamber difficult. Unfortunately, several Members 
of the institution also tested positive for COVID-19 or were 
forced to quarantine after exposure to the virus.
    Clearly, business as usual for the House was not feasible 
in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to maintain a 
fully operating Legislative Branch of government, the House 
needed to explore options to work remotely and to consider and 
vote on critical legislation remotely during the pandemic. On 
March 23, 2020, the House Committee on Rules Majority Staff 
released a report entitled ``Majority Staff Report Examining 
Voting Options During the COVID-19 Pandemic.'' The report 
explored a number of voting options and outlined several 
factors to be considered before any remote voting plan can be 
adopted in response to the limitations presented by the virus. 
The report identified currently available voting options, 
including passing legislation by unanimous consent, requiring 
Members to return to the Capitol to take recorded votes while 
maintaining social distancing, employing paired voting, and 
utilizing a provisional quorum. The report also explored the 
potential to provide for new rules to allow for enhanced 
unanimous consent (increasing the number of Members required to 
object to a unanimous consent agreement), proxy voting, and 
remote voting. While every option presented unique advantages 
and disadvantages, the report concluded that ``[t]here is 
currently no perfect solution to allow absent Members to vote 
on the floor. However, proxy voting is likely the best of the 
options available under the circumstances.''
    In addition to the Committee on Rules Majority Staff report 
analyzing voting options, on April 22, the Virtual Congress 
Task Force was formed. This bipartisan Task Force, comprised of 
the Majority and Minority Leaders, as well as the chairs and 
ranking members of the Committee on Rules and the Committee on 
House Administration, examined ways Congress could better adapt 
to emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic. This examination, 
comprised of several meetings and discussions, included not 
just remote voting options, but also remote committee 
proceedings and the technology involved.
    Based on the findings of the March 23 report, the work of 
the Virtual Congress Task Force, and after consultation with 
Members and outside experts, Rules Committee Chairman McGovern 
introduced H. Res. 965 on May 13, 2020, providing for a 
temporary voting system permitting Members of the House of 
Representatives to vote remotely by proxy during the COVID-19 
pandemic. Pursuant to this resolution, any Member could provide 
specific instructions for each vote to a fellow Member who is 
present in the chamber and has been authorized to cast those 
votes on their behalf. A Member casting a vote on behalf of 
another Member would be required to have exact direction from 
the Member granting proxy on how to vote and would have to 
follow that direction. There would be no ability to grant a 
general proxy. Members granting proxy would have to direct each 
and every vote, with the Member casting the proxy vote acting 
more as a voting machine under the direction of the Member 
granting proxy. In short, this resolution called for temporary, 
low-tech remote voting. Importantly, proxy voting is not a 
novel concept in Congress. The House permitted proxy voting in 
its committees for many decades and the Senate still permits it 
in its committees today. This resolution authorized remote 
voting by proxy that provides for a minimal and ministerial 
type of delegation on the part of the Member granting proxy. 
Compared to other remote voting proposals, this more 
conservative option allowed Members to vote remotely by proxy 
in a secure way and provided Members an opportunity to vote on 
critical COVID-19 response legislation much more quickly.
    Recognizing that as technology has advances so does the 
possibility for the House to eventually operate fully remotely, 
with no need for Members to be present in the Capitol to act as 
proxies for Members who are unable to travel, H. Res. 965 also 
took the vital and forward thinking step of directing the chair 
of the Committee on House Administration, in consultation with 
the ranking minority member, to study the feasibility of using 
technology to conduct remote voting in the House and to provide 
certification to the House upon a determination that such 
operable and secure technology exists. After the certification, 
the chair of the Rules Committee is directed to issue 
regulations on the implementation of remote voting and the 
Speaker is then authorized to notify the House that Members may 
cast their votes remotely during this public health emergency. 
By directing the study of remote voting technology, and then 
laying out a procedure by which such technology may be 
implemented, H. Res. 965 provides the House with the tools to 
begin voting entirely remotely should the need arise.
    It is important to note then despite arguments to the 
contrary, H. Res. 965, and the remote voting by proxy that it 
authorizes are constitutional. The Constitution explicitly 
grants the House and Senate the authority to make their own 
``Rules of Proceedings.'' In addition, the Supreme Court has 
twice, in cases from the 1890s, issued opinions that provide 
solid grounds to believe that the House's establishment of 
remote voting rules is consistent with its constitutional 
authority. In Field v. Clark, 143 U.S. 649 (1892), the Supreme 
Court ruled that challenges to the internal operation of 
Congress are not justiciable in the federal courts. In United 
States v. Ballin, 144 U.S. 1 (1892), the Court found that, 
while the Constitution requires the presence of a majority--or 
quorum--of the House to do business, the Constitution also 
leaves it to the House to determine its own rules. Any 
constitutional analysis should also examine the rationale and 
context in which the House is utilizing its expansive 
rulemaking authority to consider and implement H. Res. 965. 
This resolution allowing for remote voting by proxy is 
temporary and will operate only while there is a very 
significant risk to public health. Arguably, not establishing 
such a remote voting rule itself represents a risk to public 
health and safety. If Members must travel to vote in the House 
Chamber it is not just themselves who are put in danger--their 
families, their staffs, and all of the people they encounter--
are unnecessarily endangered as well. In other words, the 
remote voting by proxy plan established by H. Res. 965 does not 
simply ensure the safety of the Members voting--it acts to 
safeguard all the people with whom they have contact, both 
during and after their travel. Such travel risks presented by 
unnecessary travel is precisely why virtually all state 
governors have implemented orders against non-essential 
movement and interaction among the general populace; these 
public safety policies make no less sense when they are applied 
as well to Members of Congress. Simply put, as Erwin 
Chemerinsky, the renowned constitutional scholar and Dean of 
the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, has 
written, ``[t]he Constitution bestows on each House of Congress 
broad discretion to determine the rules for its own proceedings 
. . . This authority is expansive and would include the ability 
to adopt a rule to permit proxy voting. Nothing in the 
Constitution specifies otherwise.'' Given this analysis, remote 
voting by proxy is likely to withstand constitutional scrutiny.
    In addition to providing for remote voting by proxy, H. 
Res. 965 also ensured that during this historic pandemic, the 
vital oversight and legislative functions of House committees 
could also continue safely. While hearings and markups have 
typically been held in-person, just as with remote voting, 
there is no constitutional requirement to do so--and with our 
nation dealing with anything but typical circumstances, the 
same public health concerns that make it extremely difficult, 
if not impossible, for Members to travel to the Capitol to vote 
are likewise present as an obstacle to conducting in-person 
hearings and markups. As such, H. Res. 965 authorized 
committees to begin holding remote official proceedings, 
including hearings, markups, and depositions. Allowing for 
these important official proceedings to be conducted remotely 
ensured that the Legislative Branch can continue to operate 
fully on behalf of the American people during this public 
health crisis.
    The United States is facing the worst pandemic since the 
Influenza of 1918. With millions of reported cases, hundreds of 
thousands of lives lost, and tens of millions of Americans 
unemployed and struggling to make ends meet, the House of 
Representatives must continue operating to address the needs of 
the nation during this crisis. This means that, within the 
authority granted to it by the Constitution, the House needed 
to act to establish procedures to enable the People's 
representatives to pass critical relief legislation and to 
conduct oversight of our nation's response to this virus. The 
temporary remote voting by proxy plan, procedures for remote 
official committee proceedings, and study of the feasibility of 
technology to facilitate further remote voting by Members laid 
out in this resolution achieves these goals.
    On May 14, 2020, the Rules Committee met in open session to 
markup H. Res. 965. The Committee ordered the bill favorably 
reported by a vote of 8 to 4 and filed its report (H. Rept. 
116-420), with the House on the same day.
    The following amendments were offered during the 
Committee's markup:
          1. Rep. Woodall amendment to ensure the resolution 
        doesn't go into effect until the Clerk of the House 
        certifies that a system is in place for the secure 
        receipt and validation of the designation of proxies by 
        Members under this resolution. Defeated: 4 yeas to 6 
        nays.
          2. Rep. Cole amendment to require the concurrence of 
        the Minority Leader to designate a covered period.

        30, 2020. Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 nays.
          4. Rep. Woodall amendment to strike the provisions 
        allowing Members to record the presence of other 
        Members who designated them as their proxy. Defeated: 4

          5. Rep. Woodall amendment to require a report by the 
        General Counsel on defending proxy voting against 
        claims of unconstitutionality. Defeated: 4 yeas and 8 
        nays.
          6. Rep. Burgess amendment to require the Committee on 
        House Administration to submit a report analyzing the 
        accuracy and integrity of the votes cast by Members in 
        the House, including the votes cast by designated 
        proxies under this resolution, and shall include in the 
        report a description of any errors in the votes cast by 
        designated proxies under this resolution. The Committee 
        on House Administration shall submit this report not 
        later than 30 days after the end of the year. Defeated: 
        4 yeas and 8 nays.
          7. Rep. Cole amendment to limit measures for which 
        votes may be cast or presence recorded by proxy to 
        measures designated by the Speaker or her designee, in 
        consultation with the Minority Leader or his designee, 
        as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic; any vote 
        related to a question of the privileges of the House 
        under rule IX; any vote on a question unrelated to a 
        specific measure or matter; or a quorum call. Defeated: 
        3 yeas and 8 nays.
          8. Rep. Woodall amendment to prohibit a Member from 
        casting the vote or recording the presence of another 
        Member as a designated proxy with respect to any bill 
        or resolution considered under the suspension of the 
        rules, unless the bill or resolution is designated by 
        the Speaker or her designee, in consultation with the 
        Minority Leader or his designee, as a response to the 
        COVID-19 pandemic. Defeated: 3 yeas and 8 nays.
          9. Rep. Cole amendment to prohibit a Member from 
        casting a vote or recording the presence of another 
        Member as a designated proxy under this resolution with 
        respect to any bill or resolution which has not been 
        reported by a committee of the House. Defeated: 3 yeas 
        and 8 nays.
          10. Rep. Lesko amendment to prohibit a Member from 
        casting the vote or recording the presence of another 
        Member as a designated proxy under this resolution with 
        respect to any bill or resolution relating to 
        impeachment, censure, or contempt. Defeated: 3 yeas and 
        8 nays.
          11. Rep. Lesko amendment to require the Committee on 
        House Administration to reduce the amount available 
        under the Members' Representational Allowance by the 
        amount which would have been paid from the Allowance 
        for the Member's travel expenses if the Member casts a 
        vote or records the presence of another Member by proxy 
        or attends a proceeding remotely at any time during 
        that fiscal year. Defeated: 3 yeas and 8 nays.
          12. Rep. Cole amendment to require the regulations 
        under Section 6 in the resolution to include a 
        requirement that, not later than 24 hours prior to the 
        vote or quorum call involved, the Speaker notify 
        Members that votes may be cast or presence may be 
        recorded by designated proxies. The amendment also 
        requires that these regulations include the 
        establishment of minimum periods of time for the 
        casting of votes and the recording of presence by 
        designated proxies, and a requirement for the use of 
        contingency plans which may be implemented in the event 
        of failure of any technology to carry out sections 1, 
        2, or 3. Defeated: 3 yeas and 8 nays.
          13. Rep. Lesko amendment to limit the number of 
        proxies any Member can hold to two. Defeated: 3 yeas 
        and 8 nays.
          14. Rep. Lesko amendment to strike section 4 of this 
        resolution, authorizing remote proceedings in

          15. Rep. Lesko amendment to exclude the Committee on 
        Ethics and the Permanent Select Committee on 
        Intelligence from the provisions authorizing remote 
        proceedings in committees. Defeated: 3 yeas and 8 nays.
          16. Rep. Cole amendment to prohibit committee members 
        from recording their presence remotely. Defeated: 3 
        yeas and 8 nays.
          17. Rep. Cole amendment to strike ``to the greatest

        Defeated: 3 yeas and 8 nays.
    A section-by-section analysis of H. Res. 430 as reported by 
the Committee is as follows:

Section 1: Authorization and time period for remote voting by proxy

    Authorization--Authorizes the Speaker, in consultation with 
the Minority Leader, to designate a 45-day period during which 
Members may vote or record their presence remotely by proxy in 
the House (not the Committee of the Whole), after the Speaker 
receives notification from the Sergeant-at-Arms, in 
consultation with the Attending Physician, that a pandemic 
emergency due to a novel coronavirus is in effect.
    Extension--Allows the Speaker, in consultation with the 
Minority Leader, to extend the authority for an additional 45 
days if the Sergeant-at-Arms, in consultation with the 
Attending Physician, notifies the Speaker that the public 
health emergency due to a novel coronavirus remains in effect.
    Early termination--Terminates the 45-day period early if 
the Speaker is further notified by the Sergeant-at-Arms, in 
consultation with the Attending Physician, that the pandemic 
emergency due to a novel coronavirus is no longer in effect.

Section 2: Designating proxies

    Signed letter--Requires a signed letter submitted to the 
Clerk from any Member who wishes to vote by proxy naming the 
Member who is authorized to serve as their proxy. The letter 
may be submitted in electronic form, including email. This 
letter will be used by the Clerk to certify that a Member 
serving as proxy has the authority to cast votes on behalf of 
the Member voting remotely by proxy. It is the responsibility 
of the Members involved to ensure that separately provided 
voting instruction, detailed below, is followed.
    Altering or revoking proxy--Allows Members to submit 
further signed letters to the Clerk to alter or revoke their 
proxy, and automatically revokes the proxy designation if a 
Member votes in-person. These further letters may also be 
submitted in electronic form, including email.
    Notification--Requires the Clerk to notify the Speaker, 
Majority Leader, Minority Leader, and the Member designated 
(and in the case of an alteration, the Member formerly 
designated) as proxy of any designation, alteration, or 
revocation of proxy.
    Proxy designation limitation--Limits the number of proxy 
designations a Member may hold to 10 at a time.
    List of proxy designations--Requires the Clerk to maintain 
and keep updated a list of all proxy designations, alterations, 
and revocations and to make that list publicly available 
electronically, including available during any vote.

Section 3: Voting process

    Yeas and nays--Provides that if a Member requests the yeas 
and nays, a recorded vote, or makes a point of no quorum under 
clause 6 of rule XX, the yeas and nays will be considered as 
ordered (rather than the chair first determining there is 
sufficient support), preventing the need for large numbers of 
Members to gather in the chamber to ensure a sufficient number 
to support their request.
    Indicating proxy status--Requires Members who cast votes on 
behalf of another Member to indicate that the vote is ``by 
proxy'' on a ballot card.
    Quorum--Provides that a Member whose votes are cast by 
proxy are counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum in 
the House.
    Proxy vote instruction--Requires that a Member voting on 
behalf of another Member obtain an exact instruction with 
respect to the specific vote or quorum call, to cast that vote 
pursuant to that instruction, and is required to seek 
recognition from the chair to announce the exact instruction 
they received. If a Member casting a proxy vote does not 
receive instructions from the Member granting the proxy then 
that Member may not cast the vote.

Section 4: Remote committee proceedings

    Authorization--Provides that during the 45-day period 
designated by the Speaker under section 1, notwithstanding any 
rule of the House or its committees, committees may conduct 
proceedings (hearings, markups, or any other official business) 
remotely pursuant to the provisions of section 4 and the 
regulations authorized by section 4, and those proceedings will 
be considered as official proceedings. This authorization does 
not prevent committees from being able to use official 
resources to hold unofficial remote forums and roundtables.
    Remote participation--Allows committee Members to 
participate remotely during in-person committee proceedings and 
states that the committee must, to the greatest extent 
practicable, ensure that Members can participate remotely. This 
authorization does not mean that a committee is prohibited from 
holding a remote proceeding unless all Members are able to 
participate remotely or that a committee is required to procure 
technology for members to participate remotely. Instead, it 
requires committees to provide Members who wish to participate 
remotely the opportunity to do so, but anticipates that in rare 
circumstances technological issues may prevent committees from 
ensuring remote participation.
    Voting--Provides that committee Members may vote or record 
their presence remotely.
    Quorum--Provides that committee Members participating 
remotely shall be counted for the purposes of establishing a 
quorum.
    Witnesses--Allows witnesses to appear remotely.
    Designating ``place''--Allows the committee chair to 
designate the ``place'' of a committee proceeding, satisfying 
the requirement of clauses 2(g)(3) and 2(m)(1) of rule XI, as 
being conducted remotely. Committee reports--Allows that 
reports of committees (including those filed as privileged) may 
be delivered to the Clerk in electronic form and written and 
signed supplemental, additional, and dissenting views may also 
be filed in electronic form with the clerk of the committee.
    Limitations on business meetings--Requires that before a 
committee holds a business meeting remotely or permits remote 
participation in a business meeting for the first time, a 
majority member of a committee must first submit a letter 
signed by a majority of the members of the committee for 
printing in the Congressional Record notifying the Speaker that 
the committee has complied with regulations for remote 
committee proceedings submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record by the Rules Committee chair referenced in 
subsection (h) and that the committee is prepared to conduct a 
remote business meeting and permit remote participation during 
that meeting. Importantly, ensuring members can participate 
remotely pursuant to section 4(a)(2) does not mean that 
committees must allow remote participation in a markup if they 
have not completed the requirements found in the regulations 
referenced in subsection (h).
    Remote proceedings--Provides that remote participants shall 
not be considered absent; that during remote committee 
proceedings the chair may declare a recess to address any 
technical difficulties; and that the requirement that the 
result of any recorded vote be made available by the committee 
in its offices (clause 2(e)(1)(B)(i) of rule XI) shall not 
apply.
    Submitted or written documents--Allows for copies of 
motions, amendments, measures, or other documents submitted to 
the committee electronically pursuant to the regulations 
referred to in subsection (h) to satisfy any submission 
requirement for such documents under the rules of the House or 
its committees.
    Amendment consideration--Provides that during a remote 
business meeting the committee may manage the consideration of 
amendments pursuant to regulations referred to in subsection 
(h). Witness counsel--Permits the attendance of counsel for any 
witness appearing remotely before a committee in accordance 
with regulations referred to in subsection (h).
    Witness oaths--Allows an oath to be administered to a 
witness remotely.
    Transparency for meetings and hearings--Provides that any 
remote committee meeting or hearing conducted in accordance 
with regulations referred to in subsection (h) shall be 
considered open to the public.
    Subpoenas--Provides that any committee or chair empowered 
to authorize and issue subpoenas may authorize and issue 
subpoenas for return at a hearing or deposition conducted 
remotely. During this period, authorized and issued subpoenas 
may be signed electronically and the Clerk may attest and affix 
the seal of the House to such subpoenas electronically.
    Executive session--Prohibits a committee from conducting a 
closed or executive session proceeding remotely. If during a 
remote proceeding a motion by a Member to go into closed or 
executive session is adopted, then the chair shall recess the 
meeting with respect to such matter until the proceeding can be 
reconvened in person. This prohibition on remote closed 
proceedings does not apply to the Committee on Ethics.
    Regulations--Subsection (h) provides that this section 
shall be carried out in accordance with regulations submitted 
for printing in the Congressional Record by the Rules Committee 
chair. Consistent with past grants of regulatory authority to 
the chair of the Committee on Rules, this authority is not 
limited to a single submission of regulations.
    Application--``Committee'' includes select committees and 
subcommittees.

Section 5: Study on remote participation

    Study and certification of remote voting technology--
Requires the chair of the Committee on House Administration, in 
consultation with the ranking minority member, to study the 
feasibility of using technology to conduct remote voting in the 
House and to provide certification to the House upon a 
determination that such operable and secure technology exists.
    Implementation of remote voting technology--Following 
certification by the chair of the Committee on House 
Administration, the chair of the Committee on Rules, in 
consultation with the ranking minority member, will submit 
regulations for printing in the Congressional Record that 
provide for implementation of remote voting in the House. After 
submission of these regulations, the Speaker is authorized to 
notify the House that Members may cast their votes or record 
their presence remotely.

Section 6: Regulations

    Remote voting regulations--Provides that sections 1, 2, and 
3 (remote voting by proxy) shall be carried out in accordance 
with regulations submitted for printing in the Congressional 
Record by the Rules Committee chair, to the greatest extent 
practicable. Consistent with past grants of regulatory 
authority to the chair of the Committee on Rules, this 
authority is not limited to a single submission of regulations.

                  IV. ACTIVITIES OF THE SUBCOMMITTEES


  A. Activities of the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process


                      1. JURISDICTION AND PURPOSE

    The Committee on Rules established the Subcommittee on 
Legislative Process in 1979 at the beginning of the 96th 
Congress; it has been reestablished at the start of each 
Congress since. In early 1995, the Committee changed the name 
of this body to the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget 
Process to better reflect its jurisdiction.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee retained its 
traditional makeup of seven members, with the majority holding 
five of the spots, and the minority holding the remaining two. 
Chaired by Rep. Alcee L. Hastings of Florida, the Majority 
membership of the Subcommittee included Reps. Joseph D. Morelle 
of New York, Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania, Donna E. Shalala 
of Florida, and James P. McGovern of Massachusetts. The 
Minority members of the Subcommittee include Ranking Member Rob 
Woodall of Georgia and Rep. Michael C. Burgess of Texas.
    Committee Rule 5(a)(1)(A) assigns to the Subcommittee the 
general responsibility for measures or matters related to 
relations between the Congress and the Executive Branch.
    The primary statute within the Subcommittee's jurisdiction 
is the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 
(Public Law 93-344 as amended). The Subcommittee also continues 
to exercise jurisdiction over budget process-related provisions 
found in Part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177 as amended by Public 
Laws 100-119, 101-508 and 103-44) and the Budget Enforcement 
Act of 1990 (Title XIII of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation 
Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-44)). Legislation is referred to 
the Subcommittee at the discretion of the Chair of the 
Committee on Rules.

    The Subcommittee was first established at the beginning of 
the 96th Congress as the Subcommittee on Rules of the House. At 
the beginning of the 104th Congress, its name was changed to

Subcommittee's jurisdiction remains unchanged and it maintains 
its previous membership of seven Representatives, with five 
serving from the majority and two from the minority. Chaired by 
Rep. Norma J. Torres of California, the Majority membership of 
the Subcommittee included Reps. Joseph D. Morelle of New York, 
Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania, and James P. McGovern of 
Massachusetts. The Minority members of the Subcommittee include 
Ranking Member Debbie Lesko of Arizona and Rep. Rob Woodall of 
Georgia.

general responsibility for measures or matters related to 
process and procedures of the House, relations between the two 
Houses of Congress, relations between Congress and the 
Judiciary, and internal operations of the House. The 
Subcommittee is primarily responsible for the continuing 
examination of the committee structure and jurisdictional 
issues of all House committees. It remains committed to a 
continuing study of the organization and operations of the 
House. Legislation is referred to the Subcommittee at the

expedited procedures for floor consideration in law or in the 
Rules of the House of Representatives.
    The Subcommittee was created to examine the numerous 
expedited parliamentary procedures that have been included in 
measures or matters. The expedited procedures included in 
measures or matters can have several components including its 
introduction and referral, the priority the measure or matter 
enjoys for floor consideration, its consideration in committee, 
the process of debating and amending it on the floor, and the 
measure or matter's coordination with the Senate. Legislation 
is referred to the Subcommittee at the discretion of the Chair 
of the Committee on Rules.

                          VIII. MINORITY VIEWS

    It is with no pleasure that we pen these views. While we 
hoped the Democratic Majority's promise of transparency and 
fidelity to regular order would come to fruition, we find 
ourselves in a situation where the 116th Congress could be 
described as little more than a continual witch hunt against 
the Administration, with mere lip-service paid to the needs of 
the American people, the integrity of the institution, and the 
preservation of minority voices.
    Democratic leadership never failed to miss an opportunity 
to protect their members from difficult votes, gloss over 
defective committee processes, and subvert the sanctity of the 
legislative process to achieve their partisan agenda. We 
certainly acknowledge the positive collaboration between the 
Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Rules related 
to the examination of Congress's Article I responsibility and 
opportunities to reassert our authority. However, such 
collaboration did not manifest itself in any fulsome 
legislative process for the discrete pieces of legislation 
considered by the Committee. In fact, we find it difficult to 
identify examples in which the Democratic Leadership allowed 
the Committee on Rules to enhance the credibility of the 
institution and promote regular order and Member participation.
    In the 116th Congress, Chairman McGovern described the 
Democratic rules package as one that would modernize Congress. 
Unfortunately for this institution, these claims were 
practically meaningless.
    Specifically, the Chairman claimed these rules would:
          1. ``Restore the legislative process by . . . 
        establishing a real 72-hour rule so members of Congress 
        have time to read the major bills they're voting on;''
    Instead of following this rule and allowing Members to 
fully read and understand legislation in advance of passage, 
they waived this rule 10 times.
          2. ``Create a consensus calendar to expedite 
        consideration of measures with broad bipartisan 
        support;''
    Instead of allowing the consensus calendar to be used to 
move legislation forward, the majority precluded consideration 
of consensus calendar items the first chance they had.
          3. ``Require bills that go through the Rules 
        Committee to have a hearing and a markup before they go 
        to the floor;''
    Our colleagues seemed to have replaced their resolve in 
this regard with the newfound power of the gavel. Instead of 
following this requirement, which would restore regular order 
to lawmaking and allow Members on both sides to provide 
important input, they ignored their own words 53 times.
          4. ``Restore budget rules.''
    While we recognize the challenges of governing, especially 
in the mist of a pandemic, Democrats failed to pass a budget in 
either session of the 116th Congress and waived 71 Budget Act 
points of order. Their dedication to restoring budget rules was 
clearly nothing more than a farce.
    While numbers alone do not fully capture the evolution of 
the Committee on Rules into a rubberstamp for Speaker Pelosi's 
priorities, they do illustrate the areas in which the failure 
of Democratic Leadership is unmistakable and unjustifiable.
    In the all-too-rare-occasions where the Democratic Majority 
allowed amendments to be considered on the floor of the House, 
they prioritized amendments from their own members and blocked 
Republican ideas from even being heard. This is in stark 
contrast to the priority that the Republican Majority made to 
amplify minority voices. In the 115th Congress, under 
Republican leadership, 45 percent of all amendments made in 
order were Democratic amendments. Compare that to the 116th 
Congress, where the Democratic Majority only allowed a mere 18 
percent of Republican amendments to be considered. Not only do 
Democratic Members write the bills that come before Rules 
Committee, but nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of all amendments 
made in order are their own! There is no context in which such 
a stifling of minority voices is consistent with the designs of 
this institution or in the best interest of the American people 
we represent. How can we effectively represent our constituents 
when their perspectives are blocked from the debate by the 
Democratic Majority.
    In their views to the Survey of Activities for the 115th 
Congress, Democrats on the Rules Committee wrote:
    ``More often than not, the Rules Committee sent to the 
floor legislation under a completely closed process that 
blocked Republicans and Democrats from offering their ideas to 
improve legislation and address the needs of their 
constituents. Bad process leads to bad policy, and this highly 
restrictive process has prevented debate and progress on a 
number of issues that the American people care about.''
    We agree. Our colleagues should carefully read their words 
and use them as a guide for future decisions. If measured by 
their own standard outlined above, the Democratic Majority 
failed miserably. More often than not, Rules Committee 
Democrats sent legislation to the floor under a completely 
closed process that blocked Republicans and Democrats alike 
from offering their ideas. Our Democratic colleagues were 
correct--bad process leads to bad policy. And the legislative 
record of the 116th Congress is abysmal on both counts.
    We hope these views serve as both a condemnation of the 
actions of the Committee in the 116th Congress, and a request 
to our Democratic colleagues to reorient themselves with the 
merits of regular order, the responsibility we have to govern, 
and govern well, and the importance of allowing all voices in 
the legislative process to be heard--even the ones with which 
they disagree.
