proceedings enabled by the first section of the resolution, (a)
the Chair may decline to entertain any intervening motion,
resolution, question, or notice; and (b) the Chair may decline
to entertain the question of consideration. The resolution
provides that upon adoption of H. Res. 24, (a) H. Res. 40 is
hereby adopted; and (b) no other resolution incidental to
impeachment relating to H. Res. 24 shall be privileged during
the remainder of the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress. The
resolution provides that H. Res. 8, agreed to January 4, 2021,
is amended by striking ``January 28'' each place that it
appears and inserting ``February 11''.
