                       [To accompany H. Res. 41]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 24, by a record vote of 7 to 4, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H. Res. 24, 
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, 
for high crimes and misdemeanors, under a closed rule. The 
resolution provides two hours of debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary or their respective designees. The 
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 
H. Res. 24. The resolution provides that until completion of 
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''.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of H. Res. 24, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
