                      LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURES ENACTED IN LAW

    Sec. 1130.

      Congress has,  from time to time, passed laws
    reserving to itself an absolute or limited right of review by approval
    or disapproval of certain actions of the executive branch or of
    independent agencies. These laws usually envision some form of
    congressional action falling into one of three general categories: (1)
    action by both Houses of Congress on a bill or joint resolution
    requiring presidential signature; (2) action by one or both Houses of
    Congress on a simple or concurrent resolution; and (3) action by a
    congressional committee. Although provisions in the first category
    remain viable, provisions in the latter two categories should be read in
    light of Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919
    (1983). In that case the Supreme Court held unconstitutional as in
    violation of the presentment clause of article I, section 7, and the
    doctrine of separation of powers the provisions of the Immigration and
    Nationality Act contemplating disapproval of a decision of the Attorney
    General to allow an otherwise deportable alien to remain in the United
    States by simple resolution of one House. That same year, the Supreme
    Court summarily affirmed several lower court decisions invalidating
    provisions contemplating disapproval of executive actions by methods
    described in both categories (2) and (3) above. Process Gas Consumers
    Group v. Consumer Energy Council, 463 U.S. 1216 (1983). Since then,
    Congress has amended several ``legislative procedure'' statutes to
    convert provisions requiring simple or concurrent resolutions to
    provisions requiring joint resolutions.

    [[Page 1158]]

    less, because the House retains the constitutional right to change its
    rules at any time, the Committee on Rules may report a resolution
    varying the statutorily prescribed procedures for the House.
      Many ``legislative procedure'' statutes prescribe special procedures
    for the House to follow when reviewing executive actions. These
    procedures, termed ``privileged procedures,'' technically are Rules of
    the House, enacted expressly or impliedly as an exercise of the House's
    rulemaking authority. At the beginning of each Congress, it is customary
    for the House to re-incorporate by reference in the resolution adopting
    its rules such ``legislative procedure'' procedures as may exist in
    current law. Neverthe

      Below is a compilation of the various provisions in ``legislative
    procedure'' statutes setting forth ``privileged procedures'' to be
    followed by the House when considering executive actions, together with
    any annotations of decisions of the Chair interpreting those provisions.
    Although some annotations provide pertinent legislative history, this
    compilation does not endeavor to provide a comprehensive record of
    legislative history for every provision. Excerpts of the Balanced Budget
    and Emergency Deficit Control Act, formerly carried after the
    Congressional Budget Act, have been scaled down and moved to this
    segment of the Manual for quick reference to the legislative procedures
    therein. The primary enforcement mechanisms in the statute (such as
    sequestration) are no longer carried because they are not legislative
    procedures. However, sections 250, 251, 251A, and 252 operate in
    conjunction with procedural provisions in title III of the Congressional
    Budget Act of 1974, supra. Sections 258, 258A, 258B, and 258C primarily
    provide for reporting and consideration of legislation in the Senate;
    therefore, only portions of those sections are carried here. A more
    thorough understanding of the statutory scheme requires the full
    statutory text (see 2 U.S.C. 900).

                         Sec. 903. reorganization plans

      (a) Whenever the President, after investigation, finds that changes in
    the organization of agencies are necessary to carry out any policy set
    forth in section 901(a) of this title, he shall prepare a reorganization
    plan specifying the reorganizations he finds are necessary. Any plan may
    provide for--

              (1) the transfer of the whole or a part of an agency, or of

    message shall also estimate any reduction or increase in expenditures
    (itemized so far as practicable), and describe any improvements in
    management, delivery of Federal services, execution of the laws, and
    increases in efficiency of Government operations, which it is expected
    will be realized as a result of the reorganizations included in the
    plan. In addition, the President's message shall include an
    implementation section which shall (1) describe in detail (A) the
    actions necessary or planned to complete the reorganization, (B) the
    anticipated nature and substance of any orders, directives, and other
    administrative and operational actions which are expected to be required
    for completing or implementing the reorganization, and (C) any
    preliminary actions which have been taken in the implementation process,
    and (2) contain a projected timetable for completion of the
    implementation process. The President shall also submit such further
    background or other information as the Congress may require for its
    consideration of the plan.

      (c) Any time during the period of 60 calendar days of continuous
    session of Congress after the date on which the plan is transmitted to
    it, but before any resolution described in section 909 has been ordered
    reported in either House, the President may make amendments or
    modifications to the plan, consistent with sections 903-905 of this
    title, which modifications or revisions shall thereafter be treated as a
    part of the reorganization plan originally transmitted and shall not
    affect in any way the time limits otherwise provided for in this
    chapter. The President may withdraw the plan any time prior to the
    conclusion of 90 calendar days of continuous session of Congress
    following the date on which the plan is submitted to Congress.

             Sec. 911. discharge of committee considering resolution

    [[Page 1165]]

    tion and such resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of
    the House involved.

    Sec. 912. procedure after report or discharge of committee; debate; vote
      If the committee to which is referred a resolution introduced pursuant
    to subsection (a) of section 910 (or, in the absence of such a
    resolution, the first resolution introduced with respect to the same
    reorganization plan) has not reported such resolution or identical
    resolution at the end of 75 calendar days of continuous session of
    Congress after its introduction, such committee shall be deemed to be
    discharged from further consideration of such resolu

                                on final passage

      (a) When the committee has reported, or has been deemed to be
    discharged (under section 911) from further consideration of, a
    resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, it is at any time
    thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect
    has been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to move to
    proceed to the consideration of the resolution. The motion is highly
    privileged and is not debatable. The motion shall not be subject to
    amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If
    a motion to proceed to the consideration of the resolution is agreed to,
    the resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the respective
    House until disposed of.

      (b) Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable motions and appeals
    in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than ten hours,
    which shall be divided equally between individuals favoring and
    individuals opposing the resolution. A motion further to limit debate is
    in order and not debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to postpone, or
    a motion to proceed to the consideration of other business, or a motion
    to recommit the resolution is not in order. A motion to reconsider the
    vote by which the resolution is passed or rejected shall not be in
    order.

      (c) Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on the
    resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, and a single quorum
    call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance with the
    rules of the appropriate House, the vote on final passage of the
    resolution shall occur.

      (d) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution with
    respect to a reorganization plan shall be decided without debate.

    [[Page 1166]]

      (e) If, prior to the passage by one House of a resolution of that
    House, that House receives a resolution with respect to the same
    reorganization plan from the other House, then--

              (1) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no

            resolution had been received from the other House; but

              (2) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution of

            the other House.

      Section 905(b) was amended by Public Law 98-614 to terminate the
    authority of the President to submit reorganization plans under this
    statute on December 31, 1984. These provisions are carried in this
    compilation because other Acts have incorporated their procedures by
    reference.

                                                                Sec. 1130(2)

           2. War Powers Resolution, Sec. Sec. 5-7 [50 U.S.C. 1544-46]

      Sec. 5. (a) Each report submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1) shall be
    transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the
    President pro tempore of the Senate on the same calendar day. Each
    report so transmitted shall be referred to the Committee on
    International Relations of the House of Representatives and to the
    Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate for appropriate action. If,
    when the report is transmitted, the Congress has adjourned sine die or
    has adjourned for any period in excess of three calendar days, the
    Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of
    the Senate, if they deem if advisable (or if petitioned by at least 30
    percent of the membership of their respective Houses) shall jointly
    request the President to convene Congress in order that it may consider
    the report and take appropriate action pursuant to this section.

    [[Page 1167]]

      (b) Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is
    required to be submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1), whichever is
    earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed
    Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required to
    be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has declared war or has enacted a
    specific authorization for such use of United States Armed Forces, (2)
    has extended by law such sixty-day period, or (3) is physically unable
    to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the United States. Such
    sixty-day period shall be extended for not more than an additional
    thirty days if the President determines and certifies to the Congress in
    writing that unavoidable military necessity respecting the safety of
    United States Armed Forces requires the continued use of such armed
    forces in the course of bringing about a prompt removal of such forces.

      (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), at any time that United States
    Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the
    United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of
    war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by
    the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.

      This section (and section 7, infra) should be read in light of INS v.
    Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983).

      Sec. 6. (a) Any joint resolution or bill introduced pursuant to
    section 5(b) at least thirty calendar days before the expiration of the
    sixty-day period specified in such section shall be referred to the
    Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives or
    the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, as the case may be,
    and such committee shall report one such joint resolution or bill,
    together with its recommendations, not later than twenty-four calendar
    days before the expiration of the sixty-day period specified in such
    section, unless such House shall otherwise determine by the yeas and
    nays.

      (b) Any joint resolution or bill so reported shall become the pending
    business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time
    for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and the
    opponents), and shall be voted on within three calendar days thereafter,
    unless such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

      (c) Such a joint resolution or bill passed by one House shall be
    referred to the committee of the other House named in subsection (a) and
    shall be reported out not later than fourteen calendar days before the
    expiration of the sixty-day period specified in section 5(b). The joint
    resolution or bill so reported shall become the pending business of the
    House in question and shall be voted on within three calendar days after
    it has been reported, unless such House shall otherwise determine by
    yeas and nays.

    [[Page 1168]]

    printing of conference reports in the Record or concerning any delay in
    the consideration of such reports, such report shall be acted on by both
    Houses not later than the expiration of such sixty-day period.

      (d) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a joint resolution or bill passed by both Houses,
    conferees shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference
    shall make and file a report with respect to such resolution or bill not
    later than four calendar days before the expiration of the sixty-day
    period specified in section 5(b). In the event the conferees are unable
    to agree within 48 hours, they shall report back to their respective
    Houses in disagreement. Notwithstanding any rule in either House
    concerning the

      Sec. 7. (a) Any concurrent resolution introduced pursuant to section
    5(c) shall be referred to the Committee on International Relations of
    the House of Representatives or the Committee on Foreign Relations of
    the Senate, as the case may be, and one such concurrent resolution shall
    be reported out by such committee together with its recommendations
    within fifteen calendar days, unless such House shall otherwise
    determine by the yeas and nays.

      (b) Any concurrent resolution so reported shall become the pending
    business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time
    for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and the
    opponents) and shall be voted on within three calendar days thereafter,
    unless such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

      (c) Such a concurrent resolution passed by one House shall be referred
    to the committee of the other House named in subsection (a) and shall be
    reported out by such committee together with its recommendations within
    fifteen calendar days and shall thereupon become the pending business of
    such House and shall be voted upon within three calendar days, unless
    such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

      (d) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a concurrent resolution passed by both Houses, conferees
    shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference shall make
    and file a report with respect to such concurrent resolution within six
    calendar days after the legislation is referred to the committee of
    conference. Notwithstanding any rule in either House concerning the
    printing of conference reports in the Record or concerning any delay in
    the consideration of such reports, such report shall be acted on by both
    Houses not later than six calendar days after the conference report is
    filed. In the event the conferees are unable to agree within 48 hours,
    they shall report back to their respective Houses in disagreement.

    [[Page 1169]]

      In the 94th Congress the President was granted authority to implement
    a ``Sinai early-warning system'' involving the assignment of civilian
    personnel to noncombat functions. In the same enactment, Congress
    provided for privileged consideration of a concurrent resolution calling
    for the removal of such personnel (see 22 U.S.C. 2348 note).

      In the 98th Congress the Committee on Foreign Affairs reported a joint
    resolution providing statutory authorization under the War Powers
    Resolution for a multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon. The joint
    resolution would have been subject to consideration under the procedural
    provisions of the statute, but the House adopted a special order
    reported from the Committee on Rules varying the procedures for
    consideration of the joint resolution and also providing for
    consideration of a similar Senate joint resolution (H. Res. 318, Sept.
    28, 1983, p. 26108). The House subsequently passed a Senate joint
    resolution on the subject that changed the Rules of the House and Senate
    to provide special procedures for consideration of a joint resolution or
    bill to amend or repeal its provisions (P.L. 98-119, Sept. 29, 1983, p.
    26493).

      The 98th Congress provided for expedited consideration in the Senate
    of bills or joint resolutions requiring the removal of U.S. forces
    engaged in hostilities outside U.S. territory without a declaration of
    war (P.L. 98-164, 97 Stat. 1062). Those procedures appear in section
    601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control
    Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-329; 90 Stat. 765). Although the statute does not
    provide for expedited consideration in the House of such bills or joint
    resolutions, the House passed three such joint resolutions in the 116th
    Congress pursuant to special orders of business reported from the
    Committee on Rules (H.J. Res. 37, Feb. 13, 2019, p. _; S.J. Res. 7, Apr.
    4, 2019, p. _ (failure to override veto in Senate, May 2, 2019, p. _);
    S.J. Res. 68, Mar. 11, 2020, p. _ (failure to override veto in Senate,
    May 7, 2020, p. _)).

      In the 102d and 107th Congresses the President was granted specific
    authority within the meaning of section 5(b) of the Act to use U.S.
    armed forces (P.L. 102-1; P.L. 107-40; P.L. 107-243).

      In the 103d Congress the Committee on Foreign Affairs reported H. Con.
    Res. 170, directing the President pursuant to 5(c) of the Act to remove
    United States Armed Forces from Somalia by January 31, 1994. By
    unanimous consent the House extended by one day the time for privileged
    consideration of that measure under section 7(b) (Nov. 4, 1993, p.
    27393).

      In the 105th Congress the Committee on International Relations (now
    Foreign Affairs) reported H. Con. Res. 227, directing the President
    pursuant to section 5(c) of the Act to remove United States Armed Forces
    from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. By unanimous consent the
    House postponed consideration of the measure until a date certain and
    provided for its consideration under a ``closed'' procedure (Mar. 12,
    1998, p. 3398).

    [[Page 1170]]

    on Rules varying the statutory procedures for consideration of both
    measures (H. Res. 151, Apr. 28, 1999, p. 7718).
      In the 106th Congress the Committee on International Relations (now
    Foreign Affairs) reported H. Con. Res. 82, directing the President
    pursuant to section 5(c) of the Act to remove United States Armed Forces
    from their positions in connection with the operations against the
    Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and H. J. Res. 44, pursuant to section
    5(b) of the Act and article I, section 8 of the Constitution, declaring
    a state of war between the United States and the Government of the
    Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The House adopted a special order
    reported from the Committee

      In the 115th Congress the House adopted a special order of business
    reported from the Committee on Rules rendering the statutory procedures
    pursuant to section 7 of the Act inapplicable during the remainder of
    the Congress with respect to the consideration of any measure related to
    a specified country (sec. 2, H. Res. 1176, Dec. 12, 2018, p. _). Similar
    provisions have been adopted as part of special orders of business (sec.
    2, H. Res. 293, Nov. 8, 1993, pp. 27763, 27764; sec. 2(b), H. Res. 739,
    Dec. 4, 2019, p. _; sec. 2, H. Res. 781, Jan. 9, 2020, p. _; Mar. 8,
    2023, p. _).

      The calendar day count under section 7 of the War Powers Resolution is
    tolled during a designated district work period pursuant to clause 13 of
    rule I (see Sec. 639a, supra).

      In the 116th through 119th Congresses the House clarified that a
    motion to discharge a measure introduced pursuant to sections 6 and 7 of
    the Act would not be subject to a motion to table (sec. 103(l), H. Res.
    6, Jan. 3, 2019, p. _; sec. 3(c), H. Res. 8, Jan. 4, 2021, p. _; sec.
    3(o), H. Res. 5, Jan. 9, 2023, p. _; sec. 3(u), H. Res. 5, Jan. 3, 2025,
    p. _).

                                                                Sec. 1130(3)

            3. National Emergencies Act [50 U.S.C. 1601, 1621, 1622]

               title i--terminating existing declared emergencies

                                [50 U.S.C. 1601]

      Sec. 101. (a) All powers and authorities possessed by the President,
    any other officer or employee of the Federal Government, or any
    executive agency, as defined in section 105 of title 5, United States
    Code, as a result of the existence of any declaration of national
    emergency in effect on the date of enactment of this Act [Sept. 14,
    1976] are terminated two years from the date of such enactment. Such
    termination shall not affect--

              (1) any action taken or proceeding pending not finally

            concluded or determined on such date;

              (2) any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior

            to such date; or

              (3) any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were

            incurred prior to such date.

    [[Page 1171]]

      (b) For the purpose of this section, the words ``any national
    emergency in effect'' means a general declaration of emergency made by
    the President.

              title ii--declarations of future national emergencies

                                [50 U.S.C. 1621]

      Sec. 201. (a) With respect to Acts of Congress authorizing the
    exercise, during the period of a national emergency, of any special or
    extraordinary power, the President is authorized to declare such
    national emergency. Such proclamation shall immediately be transmitted
    to the Congress and published in the Federal Register.

      (b) Any provisions of law conferring powers and authorities to be
    exercised during a national emergency shall be effective and remain in
    effect (1) only when the President (in accordance with subsection (a) of
    this section), specifically declares a national emergency, and (2) only
    in accordance with this Act. No law enacted after the date of enactment
    of this Act shall supersede this title unless it does so in specific
    terms, referring to this title, and declaring that the new law
    supersedes the provisions of this title.

                                [50 U.S.C. 1622]

      Sec. 202. (a) Any national emergency declared by the President in
    accordance with this title shall terminate if--

              (1) there is enacted into law a joint resolution terminating

            the emergency; or

              (2) the President issues a proclamation terminating the

            emergency.
    Any national emergency declared by the President shall be terminated on
    the date specified in any joint resolution referred to in clause (1) or
    on the date specified in a proclamation by the President terminating the
    emergency as provided in clause (2) of this subsection, whichever date
    is earlier, and any powers or authorities exercised by reason of said
    emergency shall cease to be exercised after such specified date, except
    that such termination shall not affect--

              (A) any action taken or proceeding pending not finally

            concluded or determined on such date;

              (B) any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior

            to such date; or

              (C) any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were

            incurred prior to such date.

    [[Page 1172]]

    month period thereafter that such emergency continues, each House of
    Congress shall meet to consider a vote on a joint resolution to
    determine whether that emergency shall be terminated.
      (b) Not later than six months after a national emergency is declared,
    and not later than the end of each six-

      (c)(1) A joint resolution to terminate a national emergency declared
    by the President shall be referred to the appropriate committee of the
    House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may be. One such
    joint resolution shall be reported out by such committee together with
    its recommendations within fifteen calendar days after the day on which
    such resolution is referred to such committee, unless such House shall
    otherwise determine by the yeas and nays.

      (2) Any joint resolution so reported shall become the pending business
    of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time for debate
    shall be equally divided between the proponents and the opponents) and
    shall be voted on within three calendar days after the day on which such
    resolution is reported, unless such House shall otherwise determine by
    yeas and nays.

      (3) Such a joint resolution passed by one House shall be referred to
    the appropriate committee of the other House and shall be reported out
    by such committee together within its recommendations within fifteen
    calendar days after the day on which such resolution is referred to such
    committee and shall thereupon become the pending business of such House
    and shall be voted upon within three calendar days after the day on
    which such resolution is reported, unless such House shall otherwise
    determine by yeas and nays.

    [[Page 1173]]

      (4) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a joint resolution passed by both Houses, conferees
    shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference shall make
    and file a report with respect to such joint resolution within six
    calendar days after the day on which managers on the part of the Senate
    and the House have been appointed. Notwithstanding any rule in either
    House concerning the printing of conference reports or concerning any
    delay in the consideration of such reports, such report shall be acted
    on by both Houses not later than six calendar days after the conference
    report is filed in the House in which such report is filed first. In the
    event the conferees are unable to agree within forty-eight hours, they
    shall report back to their respective Houses in disagreement.

      (5) Paragraphs (1)-(4) of this subsection (b) of this section, and
    section 502(b) of this Act are enacted by Congress--

              (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are

            deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but

            applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in

            the House in the case of resolutions described by this

            subsection; and they supersede other rules only to the extent

            that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to

            the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

      (d) Any national emergency declared by the President in accordance
    with this title, and not otherwise previously terminated, shall
    terminate on the anniversary of the declaration of that emergency if,
    within the ninety-day period prior to each anniversary date, the
    President does not publish in the Federal Register and transmit to the
    Congress a notice stating that such emergency is to continue in effect
    after such anniversary.

       A privileged motion to discharge a committee from further
    consideration of a joint resolution terminating an emergency is
    available after the measure has been referred to committee for 15
    calendar days (Nov. 7, 2005, pp. 25133, 25134).

      In the 116th Congress, the House adopted a special order of business
    providing for consideration of H.J. Res. 46, relating to a national
    emergency declared by the President on February 15, 2019, and varying
    the statutory procedures for consideration of any measure related to the
    specified emergency declaration addressed by the joint resolution (sec.
    2, H. Res. 144, Feb. 26, 2019, p. _).

      In the 117th Congress, the House adopted a special order of business
    varying the statutory procedures for consideration of a specified joint
    resolution relating to a national emergency declared by the President on
    March 13, 2020 (sec. 6, H. Res. 473, June 14, 2021, p. _), and
    subsequently adopted a separate order of business varying the statutory
    procedures for consideration of any measure relating to the emergency
    declaration addressed by the specified joint resolution (sec. 4, H. Res.
    508, June 30, 2021, p. _).

    [[Page 1174]]

    13, 2023, p. _), and subsequently provided for consideration of a fifth
    specified joint resolution under the same conditions (July 17, 2023, p.
    _).
      In the 118th Congress, the House by unanimous consent provided for the
    consideration of four specified joint resolutions related to separate
    national emergencies through a date certain, varied the statutory
    procedures for consideration of each such joint resolution through the
    same date (July

                                                                Sec. 1130(4)

      4. International Emergency Economic Powers Act [50 U.S.C. 1702, 1706]

      Sec. 203. (a)(1) At the times and to the extent specified in section
    202, the President may, under such regulations as he may prescribe, by
    means of instructions, licenses, or otherwise--

              (A) investigate, regulate, or prohibit--

                      (i) any transactions in foreign exchange,

                      (ii) transfers of credit or payments between, by,

                    through, or to any banking institution, to the extent

                    that such transfers or payments involve any interest of

                    any foreign country or a national thereof,

                congressional action on certain district matters

      Sec. 604. (a) This section is enacted by Congress--

              (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such these

            provisions are deemed a part of the rule of each House,

            respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure

            to be followed in that House in the case of resolutions

            described by this section; and they supersede other rules only

            to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rule (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to

            the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

      (b) For the purpose of this section, ``resolution'' means only a joint
    resolution, the matter after the resolving clause of which is as
    follows: ``That the ___ approves/disapproves of the action of the
    District of Columbia Council described as follows: ___.'', the blank
    spaces therein being appropriately filled, and either approval or
    disapproval being appropriately indicated; but does not include a
    resolution which specifies more than one action.

      (c) A resolution with respect to Council action shall be referred to
    the Committee on Government Reform of the House of Representatives, or
    the Committee on the District of Columbia of the Senate, by the
    President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be.

    [[Page 1178]]

      (d) If the committee to which a resolution has been referred has not
    reported it at the end of twenty calendar days after its introduction,
    it is in order to move to discharge the committee from further
    consideration of any other resolution with respect to the same Council
    action which has been referred to the committee.

      (e) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual favoring
    the resolution, is highly privileged (except that it may not be made
    after the committee has reported a resolution with respect to the same
    action), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more than one hour,
    to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
    resolution. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in
    order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or
    disagreed to.

      (f) If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the
    motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the
    committee be made with respect to any other resolution with respect to
    the same action.

      (g) When the committee has reported, or has been discharged from
    further consideration of, a resolution, it is at any time thereafter in
    order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been
    disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution.
    The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment to
    the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider
    the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (h) Debate on the resolution shall be limited to not more than ten
    hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those
    opposing the resolution. A motion further to limit debate is not
    debatable. An amendment to, or motion to recommit, the resolution is not
    in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which
    the resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (i) Motions to postpone made with respect to the discharge from
    committee or the consideration of a resolution, and motions to proceed
    to the consideration of other business, shall be decided without debate.

      (j) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution shall be
    decided without debate.

    a (joint) resolution disapproving an act of the Council amending the
    D.C. Criminal Code is privileged after 20 calendar days from
    introduction of the resolution, if not reported during that time (Oct.
    1, 1981, p. 22752; Oct. 14, 1987, p. 27847).
      It is not in order to offer as privileged a motion to discharge the
    Committee on the District of Columbia (now Oversight and Government
    Reform) from a simple (now joint) resolution disapproving an act passed
    by the D.C. City Council before the time that the Council was vested
    with the authority to pass the category of act to which the simple
    resolution disapproval procedure applies (Speaker Albert, Sept. 22,
    1976, pp. 31873-74). The D.C. City Council subsequently having been
    vested with that authority, a motion to discharge the Committee on the
    District of Columbia (now Oversight and Government Reform) from further
    consideration of

      In response to a parliamentary inquiry, the Chair advised that section
    604 does not provide a privileged motion to discharge the Committee on
    the District of Columbia (now Oversight and Government Reform) from a
    concurrent (now joint) resolution disapproving acts of the D.C. City
    Council not affecting the D.C. Criminal Code, such concurrent
    resolutions only being privileged when reported by that committee
    (Speaker Albert, Sept. 22, 1976, pp. 31873-74). The House has provided
    that section 604(g) not apply to a specified joint resolution of
    disapproval (not affecting the D.C. Criminal Code) and instead provided
    for its separate consideration by special order of business (Apr. 30,
    2015, pp. 6002-04). Under section 604(h), debate on a concurrent (now
    joint) resolution of disapproval can be limited by motion, but otherwise
    extends not to exceed 10 hours; a concurrent (now joint) resolution
    disapproving an action of the D.C. Council that does not affect the U.S.
    Treasury is considered in the House (Dec. 20, 1979, p. 37303).

                         rescission of budget authority

      Sec. 1012. (a) transmittal of special message.--Whenever the President
    determines that all or part of any budget authority will not be required
    to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is
    provided or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal
    policy or other reasons (including the termination of authorized

    year is to be reserved from obligation for such fiscal year, the
    President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message
    specifying--

              (1) the amount of budget authority which he proposes to be

    [[Page 1181]]

            rescinded or which is to be so reserved;

              (2) any account, department, or establishment of the

            Government to which such budget authority is available for

            obligation, and the specific project or governmental functions

            involved;

              (3) the reasons why the budget authority should be rescinded

            or is to be so reserved;

              (4) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated fiscal,

            economic, and budgetary effect of the proposed rescission or of

            the reservation; and

              (5) all facts, circumstances, and considerations relating to

            or bearing upon the proposed rescission or the reservation and

            the decision to effect the proposed rescission or the

            reservation, and to the maximum extent practicable, the

            estimated effect of the proposed rescission or the reservation

            upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget

            authority is provided.

      (b) requirement to make available for obligation.--Any amount of
    budget authority proposed to be rescinded or that is to be reserved as
    set forth in such special message shall be made available for obligation

      Sec. 1013. (a) transmittal of special message.--Whenever the
    President, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head

    employee of the United States proposes to defer any budget authority
    provided for a specific purpose or project, the President shall transmit

    specifying--

              (1) The amount of the budget authority proposed to be

            deferred;

              (2) any account, department, or establishment of the

            or bearing upon the proposed deferral and the decision to effect

            the proposed deferral, including an analysis of such facts,

            circumstances, and considerations in terms of their application

            to any legal authority, including specific elements of legal

            authority, invoked to justify such proposed deferral, and to the

            maximum extent practicable, the estimated effect of the proposed

            deferral upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the

            budget authority is provided.
    A special message may include one or more proposed deferrals of budget
    authority. A deferral may not be proposed for any period of time
    extending beyond the end of the fiscal year in which the special message
    proposing the deferral is transmitted to the House and the Senate.

      (b) consistency with legislative policy.--Deferrals shall be
    permissible only--

              (1) to provide for contingencies;

              (2) to achieve savings made possible by or through changes in

            requirements or greater efficiency of operations; or

              (3) as specifically provided by law.
    No officer or employee of the United States may defer any budget
    authority for any other purpose.

      (c) exception.--The provisions of this section do not apply to any
    budget authority proposed to be rescinded or that is to be reserved as
    set forth in a special message required to be transmitted under section
    1012.

      Sec. 1017. (a) referral.--Any rescission bill introduced with respect
    to a special message or impoundment resolution introduced with respect
    to a proposed deferral of budget authority shall be referred to the
    appropriate committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as
    the case may be.

    been referred has not reported it at the end of 25 calendar days of
    continuous session of the Congress after its introduction, it is in
    order to move either to discharge the committee from further
    consideration of the bill or resolution or to discharge the committee
    from further consideration of any other rescission bill with respect to
    the same special message or impoundment resolution with respect to the
    same proposed deferral, as the case may be, which has been referred to
    the committee.
      (b) discharge of committee.--(1) If the committee to which a
    rescission bill or impoundment resolution has

      (2) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual favoring
    the bill or resolution, may be made only if supported by one-fifth of
    the Members of the House involved (a quorum being present), and is
    highly privileged in the House and privileged in the Senate (except that
    it may not be made after the committee has reported a bill or resolution
    with respect to the same special message or the same proposed deferral,
    as the case may be); and debate thereon shall be limited to not more
    than 1 hour, the time to be divided in the House equally between those
    favoring and those opposing the bill or resolution, and to be divided in
    the Senate equally between, and controlled by, the majority leader and
    the minority leader or their designees. An amendment to the motion is

    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

    House of Representatives has reported, or has been discharged from
    further consideration of, a rescission bill or impoundment resolution,

    motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to
    the consideration of the bill or resolution. The motion shall be highly
    privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in
    order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which
    the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

    [[Page 1184]]

      (2) Debate on a rescission bill or impoundment resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally between

    provisions of this subsection, consideration of any rescission bill or
    impoundment resolution and amendments thereto (or any conference report
    thereon) shall be governed by the Rules of the House of Representatives
    applicable to other bills and resolutions, amendments, and conference
    reports in similar circumstances.

    each amendment shall be limited to 30 minutes, to be equally divided
    between, and controlled by, the manager of the conference report and the

      The privileged status given in section 1017(c)(1) to rescission bills
    within the 45-day period prescribed in section 1011 applies only to the
    initial consideration of the bill in the House, and consideration of a
    conference report on any bill containing rescissions of budget authority
    is subject only to the general rules of the House relating to conference
    reports and is not prevented by the expiration of the 45-day period
    following the initial consideration of the bill in the House (Speaker
    Albert, Mar. 25, 1975, pp. 8484, 8485).The House has adopted a special
    order varying the statutory procedures under section 1017 of the Act for
    any bill related to a particular special message transmitted under
    section 1012 of the Act (sec. 2, H. Res. 447, May 7, 1992, pp. 10584-88;
    sec. 3, H. Res. 923, June 7, 2018, p. _).

                            line item veto authority

    [[Page 1187]]

      In Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417 (1998), the Supreme Court
    held that the cancellation procedures of the Line Item Veto Act violated
    the presentment clause of article I, section 7 of the Constitution.
    During the period between the January 1, 1997, effective date of the Act
    and the Court decision, the President exercised his authority under the
    Act to cancel dollar amounts of discretionary budget authority (see
    e.g., H. Doc. 105-147), new direct spending (H. Doc. 105-115), and
    limited tax benefits (H. Doc. 105-116). Cancellations were effective
    unless disapproved by law (P.L. 105-159). The congressional review
    procedures remained in the law until their expiration on January 1,
    2005, but were not invoked following the Court's decision. Accordingly
    their text is omitted here but may be found in pp. 1029-45 of the House
    Rules and Manual for the 105th Congress. The procedures may be
    summarized as follows: The cancellations were transmitted to the
    Congress by the President by a special message within five calendar days
    after the enactment of the law to which the cancellation applied. The
    Act provided for a congressional review period of 30 calendar days of
    session with expedited House consideration of bills disapproving the
    cancellations including: (1) prescribing the text (section 1026(6)); (2)
    referral to committee with directions to report within seven calendar
    days subject to a motion to discharge (section 1025(d)); (3)
    consideration of a disapproval bill in the Committee of the Whole with
    no amendment in order (except that a Member, supported by 49 other
    Members, could offer an amendment striking cancellations from the bill),
    and consideration of the bill for amendment limited to one hour (section
    1025(d)); and (4) one-calendar-day availability for a conference report
    (section 1025(f)). The Act also provided for expedited procedures in the
    Senate.

                                                                Sec. 1130(7)

    which the Congress is in continuous session, as defined in the
    Impoundment Control Act of 1974, prior to such use and neither House of
    Congress approves a resolution of disapproval of the plan prior to the
    expiration of the aforementioned thirty-day period. If such a resolution
    of disapproval has been introduced, but has not been reported by the
    Committee on or before the twentieth day after transmission of the
    presidential message, a privileged motion shall be in order in the
    respective body to discharge the Committee from further consideration of
    the resolution and to provide for its immediate consideration, using the
    procedures specified for consideration of an impoundment resolution in
    section 1017 of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 688).

      Sec. 107. * * * Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of
    law, that none of the funds made available to the Secretary of Energy
    under any other authorization or appropriation Act shall be used,
    directly or indirectly, for the repurchase, transportation or storage of
    any foreign spent nuclear fuel (including any nuclear fuel irradiated in
    any nuclear power reactor located outside of the United States and
    operated by any foreign legal entity, government or nongovernment,
    regardless of the legal ownership or control of the fuel or the reactor,
    and regardless of the origin or licensing of the fuel or the reactor,
    but not including fuel irradiated in a research reactor, and not
    including fuel irradiated in a power reactor if the President determines
    that (1) use of funds for repurchase, transportation or storage of such
    fuel is required by an emergency situation, (2) it is in the interest of
    the common defense and security of the United States to take such
    action, and (3) he notifies the Congress of the determination and
    action, with a detailed explanation and justification thereof, as soon
    as possible) unless the President formally notifies, with the report
    information specified herein, the Committee on Energy and Natural
    Resources of the Senate and the Committee on Science, Space, and
    Technology of the House of Representatives of such use of funds thirty
    calendar days, during such time as either House of Congress is in
    session, before the commitment, expenditure, or obligation of such
    funds: And provided further, That, notwithstanding any other provision
    of law, that none of the funds appropriated pursuant to this Act or any
    other funds made available to the Secretary of Energy under any other
    authorization or appropriation Act shall be used, directly or
    indirectly, for the repurchase, transportation, or storage of any such
    foreign spent nuclear fuel for storage or other disposition, interim or
    permanent, in the United States, unless the use of the funds for that
    specific purpose has been (1) previously and expressly authorized by
    Congress in legislation hereafter enacted, (2) previously and expressly
    authorized by a concurrent resolution, or (3) the President submits a
    plan for such use, with the report information specified herein, thirty
    days during

    * (b)(1) In order to place a revised schedule (other than a schedule
    described in subsection (a)(2) (C), (D), or (E) of this section) in
    effect, the corporation shall transmit the proposed schedule, its
    proposed effective date, and the reasons for its proposal to the
    Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Education and Labor of
    the House of Representatives, and to the Committee on Finance and the
    Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate.

      (2) The succeeding paragraphs of this subsection are enacted by
    Congress as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and the
    House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they shall be deemed
    a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only
    with respect to the procedure to be followed in that House in the case
    of resolutions described in paragraph (3). They shall supersede other
    rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith. They are
    enacted with full recognition of the constitutional right of either
    House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that
    House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same extent as in the
    case of any rule of that House.

      (5) If a committee to which has been referred a resolution has not
    reported it before the expiration of 10 calendar days after its
    introduction, it shall then (but not before) be in order to move to
    discharge the committee from further consideration of that resolution,
    or to discharge the committee from further consideration of any other
    resolution with respect to the proposed adjustment which has been
    referred to the committee. The motion to discharge may be made only by a
    person favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that
    it may not be made after the committee has reported a resolution with
    respect to the same proposed rate), and debate thereon shall be limited
    to not more than 1 hour, to be divided equally between those favoring
    and those opposing the resolution. An amendment to the motion is not in
    order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which
    the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is
    agreed to or disagreed to, the motion may not be renewed, nor may
    another motion to discharge the committee be made with respect to any
    other resolution with respect to the same proposed rate.

    consideration of a resolution, it is at any time thereafter in order
    (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to)
    to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution. The motion is
    highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment to the motion is
    not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. Debate on the resolution
    shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided
    equally between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. A
    motion further to limit debate is not debatable. An amendment to, or

    the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may
    be, to the procedure relating to a resolution shall be decided without
    debate.

      By unanimous consent a concurrent resolution approving a revised

    with respect to any such extension, such joint resolution will be
    considered in the House or Senate, as the case may be, under procedures

    period of thirty days after March 10, 1978, and for a period of twenty-

    agreement has agreed to negotiations as called for in section 404(a) of
    the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 [42 U.S.C. 2153c(a)]; however,
    nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relinquish any rights
    which the United States may have under agreements for cooperation in
    force on the date of enactment of this section: Provided further, That
    if, upon the expiration of such twenty-month period, the President
    determines that failure to continue cooperation with any group of
    nations which has been exempted pursuant to the above proviso from the
    provisions of paragraph (4) or (5) of section 127 of this Act [42 U.S.C.
    2156(4) or (5)], but which has not yet agreed to comply with those

    defense and security, he may, after notifying the Congress of his
    determination, extend by Executive order the duration of the above

    Provided, That prior to any such export, the President shall submit the
    Executive order, together with his explanation of why, in light of the
    Commission's decision, the export should nonetheless be made, to the
    Congress for a period of sixty days of continuous session (as defined in
    subsection 130g. [42 U.S.C. 2159(g)]) and shall be referred to the

    export shall not occur if during such sixty-day period the Congress
    adopts a concurrent resolution stating in substance that it does not
    favor the proposed export. Any such Executive order shall be considered
    pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 130 of this Act [42
    U.S.C. 2159] for the consideration of Presidential submissions: * * *

      c. In the event that the House of Representatives or the Senate passes

    notifies the Congress that he has determined that significant progress
    has been made in achieving adherence to such criterion by such state or

      (2) Debate in the Senate on an implementing bill or approval
    resolution, and all debatable motions and appeals in connection
    therewith, shall be limited to not more than 20 hours. The time shall be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the
    minority leader or their designees.

      (3) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or appeal in
    connection with an implementing bill or approval resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the bill or resolution,
    except that in the event the manager of the bill or resolution is in
    favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition thereto,
    shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. Such
    leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their control on the
    passage of an implementing bill or approval resolution, allot additional
    time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or
    appeal.

    [[Page 1222]]

      (4) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate is not debatable. A
    motion to recommit an implementing bill or approval resolution is not in
    order.

      Pursuant to section 151(f)(2) of this Act debate on an implementing
    revenue bill must be equally divided and controlled among those favoring
    and opposing the bill (absent an order of the House establishing some
    other distribution of the time); a motion to limit debate on such
    legislation must be made in the House, and not in the Committee of the
    Whole, and may be made either pending the motion to resolve into
    Committee of the Whole or at a later time, after the Committee has risen
    without completing action on the bill (July 10, 1979, pp. 17812, 17813).
    An implementing bill reported from committee has been considered as
    privileged under the Act (Nov. 14, 1980, p. 29617). The House has
    adopted a special order recommended by the Committee on Rules providing
    for consideration of both a resolution to deny the extension of ``fast-
    track'' procedures requested by the President under section 1103(b) of
    the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 and a resolution to
    express the sense of the House concerning U.S. negotiating objectives
    after such an extension (May 23, 1991, p. 12137). For other special
    orders altering procedures under the Trade Act of 1974, see, e.g., July
    27, 2005, p. 17978; Apr. 10, 2008, p. 5640. The Senate has affirmed its
    constitutional authority to enact a statutory rule (as in subsection (d)
    of section 151) prohibiting amendments to specified revenue bills in
    derogation of its constitutional authority to propose amendments to
    House revenue bills (presiding officer sustained on appeal) (Nov. 19,
    1993, p. 30641).

            matter after the resolving clause of which is as follows: ``That

            the Congress does not approve ___ transmitted to the Congress on

            ___.'', with the first blank space being filled in accordance

            with paragraph (2), and the second blank space being filled with

    30 days after its introduction, not counting any day which is excluded
    under section 154(b), it is in order to move either to discharge the
    committee from further consideration of the resolution or to discharge
    the committee from further consideration of any other resolution
    introduced with respect to the same matter, except that a motion to
    discharge--

              (A) may only be made on the second legislative day after the

            calendar day on which the Member making the motion announces to

            the House his intention to do so; and

              (B) is not in order after the Committee has reported a

            resolution with respect to the same matter.

      (2) A motion to discharge under paragraph (1) may be made only by an
    individual favoring the resolution, and is highly privileged in the
    House and privileged in the Senate; and debate thereon shall be limited
    to not more than 1 hour, the time to be divided in the House equally
    between those favoring and those opposing the resolution, and to be
    divided in the Senate equally between, and controlled by, the majority
    leader and the minority leader or their designees. An amendment to the
    motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the
    vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (d) floor consideration in the house.--(1) A motion in the House of
    Representatives to proceed to the consideration of a resolution shall be
    highly privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall
    not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the vote
    by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

    between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. A motion
    further to limit debate

      (3) Motions to postpone, made in the House of Representatives with
    respect to the consideration of a resolution, and motions to proceed to
    the consideration of other business, shall be decided without debate.

      (4) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the
    procedure relating to a resolution shall be decided without debate.

      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of a resolution in the
    House of Representatives shall be governed by the Rules of the House of
    Representatives applicable to other resolutions in similar
    circumstances.

      (e) floor consideration in the senate.--(1) A motion in the Senate to
    proceed to the consideration of a resolution shall be privileged. An

    disagreed to.

      (2) Debate in the Senate on a resolution, and all debatable motions
    and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than
    20 hours, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority
    leader and the minority leader or their designees.

    control on the passage of a resolution, allot additional time to any
    Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.

      (4) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a resolution,
    debatable motion, or appeal is not debatable. No amendment to, or motion
    to recommit, a resolution is in order in the Senate.

      (f) procedures in the senate.--(1) Except as otherwise provided in
    this section, the following procedures shall

            the Senate, be referred to the Committee on Finance for

            consideration in accordance with this section.

              (ii) If a resolution to which this section applies was

            introduced in the Senate before receipt of a resolution that has

            passed the House of Representatives, the resolution from the

            House of Representatives shall, when received in the Senate, be

            placed on the calendar. If this clause applies, the procedures

            in the Senate with respect to a resolution introduced in the

            Senate that contains the identical matter as the resolution that

            passed the House of Representatives shall be the same as if no

            resolution had been received from the House of Representatives,

            except that the vote on passage in the Senate shall be on the

            resolution that passed the House of Representatives.

              (B) If the Senate passes a resolution before receiving from

            the House of Representatives a joint resolution that contains

            the identical matter, the joint resolution shall be held at the

            desk pending receipt of the joint resolution from the House of

            Representatives. Upon receipt of the joint resolution from the

            House of Representatives, such joint resolution shall be deemed

            to be read twice, considered, read the third time, and passed.

      (2) If the texts of joint resolutions described in section 152 or
    153(a), whichever is applicable concerning any matter are not
    identical--

              (A) the Senate shall vote passage on the resolution introduced

            in the Senate, and

              (B) the text of the joint resolution passed by the Senate

            shall, immediately upon its passage (or, if later, upon receipt

            of the joint resolution passed by the House), be substituted for

            the text of the joint resolution passed by the House of

            Representatives, and such resolution, as amended, shall be

            returned with a request for a conference between the two Houses.

    divided be

      Although a motion that the House resolve itself into the Committee of
    the Whole is not ordinarily subject to the motion to postpone
    indefinitely (VI, 726), the motion to postpone indefinitely may be
    offered pursuant to the provisions of this statute, is nondebatable, and
    represents final adverse disposition of the disapproval resolution (Mar.
    10, 1977, p. 7021).

    may, from time under the control on the passage of a resolution, allot
    additional time to any Senator during the consideration of any
    amendment. A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on an
    amendment to a resolution is not debatable.
      (4) That part of section 152(e)(4) which provides that no amendment is
    in order shall not apply to any amendment to a resolution which is
    limited to striking out or inserting

      (c) consideration of second resolution not in order.--It shall not be

              (2) report to congress by the president.--If the President is

            obligations under the agreement apply only to the parties to the

            agreement, if such application is consistent with the terms of

            the agreement. The implementing bill may also provide that the

            benefits and obligations under the agreement do not apply

            uniformly to all parties to the agreement, if such application

            is consistent with the terms of the agreement.

                    authorities procedures, and

            are inconsistent with such other rules; and

              (2) with the full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedures of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and

            to the same extent as any other rule of that House.

      In the 106th and 109th Congresses a joint resolution withdrawing the
    approval of the United States from the Agreement establishing the World
    Trade Organization was considered under a special rule (H. J. Res. 90,
    June 21, 2000, p. 11704; H. J. Res. 27, June 9, 2005, p. 12008). In the
    116th Congress, the House adopted a special order of business rendering
    section 125(c) inapplicable during the remainder of the Congress (sec.
    7, H. Res. 1017, June 25, 2020, p. _).

    ommendations concerning that report in the fiscal year 1988 Budget
    message (Jan. 5, 1987, H. Doc. 100-11). Because not disapproved by the
    Congress in accordance with the Salary Act (2 U.S.C. 359), those
    recommendations took effect on March 1, 1987. On return to the normal
    quadrennial cycle, the President transmitted with the fiscal year 1990
    Budget message recommendations concerning a salary commission report
    with respect to fiscal year 1989 (Jan. 9, 1989, H. Doc. 101-21). Those
    recommendations were disapproved by Public Law 101-1 (H. J. Res. 129,
    101st Cong., Feb. 7, 1989, p. 1708). In 1989, the Salary Act was amended
    to redesignate the Commission, refine the parameters for quadrennial
    adjustments, and provide for privileged consideration of legislation to
    approve adjustments recommended by the President. The quadrennial review
    contemplated by the statute has not occurred since 1993. Adjustments are
    to maintain equal levels of pay among the Speaker, the Vice President,
    and the Chief Justice; among the Majority and Minority Leaders, the
    President pro tempore of the Senate, and level I of the Executive
    Schedule; and among Representatives, Senators, certain judges, and level
    II of the Executive Schedule (2 U.S.C. 362).

    employees of the House to maintain certain relationships with comparable
    levels in the Senate and in the other branches of government. This
    authority to issue ``pay orders'' is stated as follows:

      ``Sec. 311. * * * (d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this

    rates of pay or any other matter relating to personnel whose pay is
    disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, or whenever any of the events
    described in paragraph (2) occurs, the Speaker of the House of
    Representatives may adjust the rates of pay (and any minimum or maximum
    rate, limitation, or allowance) applicable to personnel whose pay is
    disbursed by the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of
    Representatives to the extent necessary to ensure--

              ``(A) appropriate pay levels and relationships between and

    continuous session of Congress after the date on which such action is
    transmitted to such Houses, unless between the date of transmittal and

      (2) An energy action described in paragraph (1) may take effect prior
    to the expiration of the 15-calendar-day period after the date on which
    such action is transmitted, if each House of Congress approves a
    resolution affirmatively stating in substance that such House does not
    object to such action.

      (d) For the purpose of subsection (c) of this section--

              (1) continuity of session is broken only by an adjournment of

            Congress sine die; and

              (2) the days on which either House is not in session because

            of an adjournment of more than 3 days to a day certain are

            excluded in the computation of the 15-calendar-day period.

            of this subsection; and it supersedes other rules only to the

            extent that is inconsistent therewith; and

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to

      (2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``resolution'' means
    only a resolution of either House of Congress described in subparagraph
    (A) or (B) of this paragraph.

            the name of the resolving House and other blank spaces therein

            being appropriately filled; but does not include a resolution

            which specifies more than one energy action.

      (3) A resolution once introduced with respect to an energy action
    shall immediately be referred to a committee (and all resolutions with

    President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be.

      (4)(A) If the committee to which a resolution with respect to an
    energy action has been referred has not reported it at the end of 5

    to discharge the committee from further consideration of any other
    resolution with respect to such energy action which has been referred to
    the committee.

      (B) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual favoring
    the resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that it may not be
    made after the committee has reported a resolution with respect to the

            U.S.C. 6202(8)], or

              (B) finds, and publishes such finding, that a national or

            regional fuel supply shortage exists or may exist which the

            President determines--

                      (i) is, or is likely to be, of significant scope and

                    duration, and of an emergency nature;

                    interruption in the supply of coal or from sabotage, or

                    an act of God;
    the President may, by order, allocate (and require the transportation
    thereof) for the use of any electrical powerplant or major fuel-burning
    installation, in accordance with such terms and conditions as he may
    prescribe, to insure reliability of electric service or prevent
    unemployment, or protect public health, safety, or welfare.

      (2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``coal'' means

    or major fuelburning installation from using natural gas or petroleum,
    or both, as a primary energy source for the duration of such
    interruption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any
    suspension of emission limitations or other requirements of applicable
    implementation plans, as defined in section 110(d) of the Clean Air Act
    [42 U.S.C. 7410(d)], required by such prohibition shall be issued only

    President shall transmit to the Congress in accordance with section 551
    of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6421]. Such order
    shall be subject to congressional review pursuant to such section.

    be effective after a period of 90 days of continuous session have
    elapsed following the receipt of such transmittal unless during such 90-
    day period either House of Congress adopts a resolution disapproving the

    (a) may be classified if the public disclosure thereof would be clearly
    detrimental to the security of the United States, in which case the
    information shall be accompanied by a description of the damage to the
    national security that could be expected to result from public
    disclosure of the information. The letter of offer shall not be issued

    receiving such certification, or with respect to a proposed sale to any
    other country or organization, if the Congress within thirty calendar
    days after receiving such certification, enacts a joint resolution
    prohibiting the proposed sale, unless the President states in his
    certification that an emergency exists which requires such sale in the
    national security interests of the United States. If the President
    states in his certification that an emergency exists which requires the
    proposed sale in the national security interest of the United States,
    thus waiving the congressional review requirements of this subsection,
    he shall set forth in the certification a detailed justification for his
    determination, including a description of the emergency circumstances
    which necessitate the immediate issuance of the letter of offer and a
    discussion of the national security interests involved.

    information specified in * * * subsection (a) * * *

      (2) Any such joint resolution shall be considered in the Senate in
    accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the International
    Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976, except that for
    purposes of consideration of any joint resolution with respect to the
    North Atlantic Treaty Organization, any member country of such
    Organization, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, Israel, or New
    Zealand, it shall be in order in the Senate to move to discharge a
    committee to which such joint resolution was referred if such committee
    has not reported such joint resolution at the end of five calendar days
    after its introduction.

      (3) For the purpose of expediting the consideration and enactment of
    joint resolutions under this subsection, a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of any such joint resolution after it has been reported by
    the appropriate committee shall be treated as highly privileged in the
    House of Representatives.

      Pursuant to this provision, a motion that the House resolve itself
    into the Committee of the Whole for consideration of a concurrent (now
    joint; see P.L. 99-247) resolution disapproving an export sale of major
    defense equipment is highly privileged after the resolution has been
    reported, subject to the availability requirement of clause 4 of rule
    XIII (former clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI) (Oct. 14, 1981, pp. 23796,
    23871, 23872; May 7, 1986, p. 9716).

      In the 116th Congress the House adopted a special order of business:
    (1) rendering the statutory procedures under this provision and sections
    36(c)(3)(B) and 36(d)(5)(B) of this Act inapplicable during the
    remainder of the Congress; and (2) establishing alternative procedures
    for consideration of joint resolutions submitted pursuant to such
    sections that required notice from the Majority Leader or a designee and
    that restricted the authority to call up any such joint resolution to
    the chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or a designee (H. Res.
    491, July 16, 2019, p. _). During the 116th Congress proper notice was
    provided (July 16, 2019, p. _) and three joint resolutions were
    considered pursuant to such alternative procedures (July 17, 2019, p.
    _).

      (3)(A) Subject to paragraph (5), the President may not give his
    consent to the transfer of any major defense equipment valued (in terms
    of its original acquisition cost) at $14,000,000 or more, or any defense
    article or defense service valued (in terms of its original acquisition
    cost) at $50,000,000 or more, the export of which has been licensed or
    approved under section 38 of this Act [22 U.S.C. 2778] or has been
    exempted from the licensing requirements of this chapter pursuant to a
    treaty referred to in section 38 of this Act [22 U.S.C. 2778] where such
    treaty does not authorize the transfer without prior United States
    Government approval, unless before giving such consent the President
    submits to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Chairman
    of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a certification
    containing the information specified in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of
    paragraph (1). Such certification shall be submitted--

              (i) at least 15 calendar days before such consent is given in

            the case of a transfer to a country which is a member of the

            North Atlantic Treaty Organization or Australia, Japan, the

            Republic of Korea, Israel, or New Zealand; and

              (ii) at least 30 calendar days before such consent is given in

            the case of a transfer to any other country,
    unless the President states in his certification that an emergency
    exists which requires that consent to the proposed transfer become
    effective immediately in the national security interests of the United
    States. If the President states in his certification that such an
    emergency exists (thus waiving the requirements of clause (i) or (ii),
    as the case may be, and of subparagraph (B)) the President shall set
    forth in the certification a detailed justification for his
    determination, including a description of the emergency circumstances
    which necessitate that consent to the proposed transfer become effective
    immediately and a discussion of the national security interests
    involved.

      (B) Consent to a transfer subject to subparagraph (A) shall become
    effective after the end of the 15-day or 30-day period specified in
    subparagraph (A)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, only if the Congress
    does not enact, within that period, a joint resolution prohibiting the
    proposed transfer.

      (C)(i) Any joint resolution under this paragraph shall be considered
    in the Senate in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the
    International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.

    joint resolutions under this paragraph, a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of any such joint resolution after it has been reported by
    the appropriate committee shall be treated as highly privileged in the
    House of Representatives.

      (4) This subsection shall not apply--

              (A) to transfers of maintenance, repair, or overhaul defense

            services, or of the repair parts of other defense articles used

            in furnishing such services, if the transfer will not result in

            any increase, relative to the original specifications, in the

            military capability of the defense articles and services to be

            maintained, repaired, or overhauled;

              (B) to temporary transfers of defense articles for the sole

    [[Page 1272]]

            purpose of receiving maintenance, repair, or overhaul; or

              (C) to arrangements among members of the North Atlantic Treaty

            Organization or between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

            and any of its member countries--

                      (i) for cooperative cross servicing, or

                      (ii) for lead-nation procurement if the certification

                    transmitted to the Congress pursuant to section 36(b) of

                    this Act [22 U.S.C. 2776(b)] with regard to such lead-

                    nation procurement identified the transferees on whose

                    behalf the lead-nation procurement was proposed.

      (5) In the case of a transfer to a member country of the North
    Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Australia, Japan, the Republic of
    Korea, Israel, or New Zealand that does not authorize a new sales
    territory that includes any country other than such countries, the
    limitations on consent of the President set forth in paragraphs (1) and
    (3)(A) shall apply only if the transfer is--

              (A) a transfer of major defense equipment valued (in terms of

            its original acquisition cost) at $25,000,000 or more; or

              (B) a transfer of defense articles or defense services valued

            (in terms of its original acquisition cost) at $100,000,000 or

            more.

    the case of an agreement described in section 63 [22 U.S.C. 2796b], may

            than three consecutive days), the Congress adopts a concurrent

            resolution of nonapproval of the management decision or action,

            which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to

            made with respect to any other resolution with respect to the

            same management decision or action. When the committee has

            reprinted [so in original], or has been discharged from further

            consideration of a resolution, it shall at any time thereafter

            has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration

            of the resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged and

            shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be

           congressional consideration of commission report, Sec. 2908

      Sec. 2908. (a) terms of the resolution.--For purposes of section
    2904(b), the term ``joint resolution'' means only a joint resolution
    which is introduced within the 10-day period beginning on the date on
    which the President transmits the report to the Congress under section
    2903(e), and--

              (1) which does not have a preamble;

              (2) the matter after the resolving clause of which is as

            follows: ``That Congress disapproves the recommendations of the

            Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission as submitted by

            the President on ___'', the blank space being filled in with the

            appropriate date; and

              (3) the title of which is as follows: ``Joint resolution

            disapproving the recommendations of the Defense Base Closure and

            Realignment Commission.''.

      (b) referral.--A resolution described in subsection (a) that is
    introduced in the House of Representatives shall be referred to the
    Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives. A
    resolution described in subsection (a) introduced in the Senate shall be
    referred to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.

    [[Page 1301]]

    lution, and such resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar
    of the House involved.
      (c) discharge.--If the committee to which a resolution described in
    subsection (a) is referred has not reported such resolution (or an
    identical resolution) by the end of the 20-day period beginning on the
    date on which the President transmits the report to the Congress under
    section 2903(e), such committee shall be, at the end of such period,
    discharged from further consideration of such reso-

      (d) consideration.--(1) On or after the third day after the date on
    which the committee to which such a resolution is referred has reported,
    or has been discharged (under subsection (c)) from further consideration
    of, such a resolution, it is in order (even though a previous motion to
    the same effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective
    House to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution. A
    Member may make the motion only on the day after the calendar day on
    which the Member announces to the House concerned the Member's intention
    to make the motion, except that, in the case of the House of
    Representatives, the motion may be made without such prior announcement
    if the motion is made by direction of the committee to which the
    resolution was referred. All points of order against the resolution (and
    against consideration of the resolution) are waived. The motion is
    highly privileged in the House of Representatives and is privileged in
    the Senate and is not debatable. The motion is not subject to amendment,
    or to a motion to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If
    a motion to proceed to the consideration of the resolution is agreed to,
    the respective House shall immediately proceed to consideration of the
    joint resolution without intervening motion, order, or other business,
    and the resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the
    respective House until disposed of.

      (2) Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable motions and appeals
    in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 2 hours,
    which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing
    the resolution. An amendment to the resolution is not in order. A motion
    further to limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to
    postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other business,
    or a motion to recommit the resolution is not in order. A motion to
    reconsider the vote by which the resolution is agreed to or disagreed to
    is not in order.

    [[Page 1302]]

      (3) Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on a resolution
    described in subsection (a) and a single quorum call at the conclusion
    of the debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the
    appropriate House, the vote on final passage of the resolution shall
    occur.

      (4) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution described
    in subsection (a) shall be decided without debate.

      (e) consideration by other house.--(1) If, before the passage by one
    House of a resolution of that House described in subsection (a), that
    House receives from the other House a resolution described in subsection
    (a), then the following procedures shall apply:

              (A) The resolution of the other House shall not be referred to

            a committee and may not be considered in the House receiving it

            except in the case of final passage as provided in subparagraph

            (B)(ii).

              (B) With respect to a resolution described in subsection (a)

            of the House receiving the resolution--

                      (i) the procedure in that House shall be the same as

                    if no resolution had been received from the other House;

                    but

                      (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on the

                    resolution of the other House.

      (2) Upon disposition of the resolution received from the other House,
    it shall no longer be in order to consider the resolution that
    originated in the receiving House.

      (f) rules of the senate and house.--This section is enacted by
    Congress--

              (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is deemed

            a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable

            only with respect to the procedure to be followed in that House

            in the case of a resolution described in subsection (a), and it

            supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is

            inconsistent with such rules; and

              (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to

            the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

    without intervening motion. Managers in the Committee of the Whole
    yielded control of portions of their time by unanimous consent (Oct. 27,
    2005, p. 23979). The manager calling up a joint resolution pursuant to
    this section is entitled to close debate thereon (even when opposed, as
    in the case of a joint resolution reported adversely) (Oct. 27, 2005, p.
    23993). The House by special rule restricted the availability of the
    motion to proceed to consider a joint resolution pursuant to this
    section (Sept. 29, 2005, p. 21786). Because the Commission has not
    submitted a report pursuant to the statute since 2005, these procedures
    have been truncated in this compilation.
      The House has considered joint resolutions pursuant to this section in
    the full House by special rule (July 30, 1991, p. 20315) and by
    unanimous consent (Sept. 8, 1995, p. 24129), and in the Committee of the
    Whole by motion (Oct. 27, 2005, p. 23979), in which case the Committee
    rose without motion at the conclusion of debate and the question on
    passage was put

    located on an installation cited for realignment are only to be in
    effect if the function or activity with which the project is associated
    will be transferred from the installation as a result of the
    realignment: Provided further, That this provision will remain in effect
    unless the Congress enacts a Joint Resolution of Disapproval in
    accordance with the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as
    amended (Public Law 101-510).

                      (B) shall consist of 3 separate bodies of regulations,

                    which shall apply, respectively, to--

      (i) the Senate and employees of the Senate;

      (ii) the House of Representatives and employees of the House of
    Representatives; and

            proposed rulemaking under section 553(b) of title 5, United

            States Code, but, instead of publication of a general notice of

            transmit such notice to the Speaker of the House of

            Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate for

            publication in the Congressional Record on the first day on

            which both Houses are in session following such transmittal.

              (3) adoption.--After considering comments, the Board shall

            adopt regulations and shall transmit notice of such action

            together with a copy of such regulations to the Speaker of the

            House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the

            Senate for publication in the Congressional Record on the first

            day on which both Houses are in session following such

            transmittal.

              (4) recommendation as to method of approval.--The Board shall

            include a recommendation in the general notice of proposed

            notice, together with a copy of such regulations, to the

            appropriate committee or committees of the House of

            Representatives and of the Senate. The purpose of the referral

            shall be to consider whether such regulations should be

            approved, and, if so, whether such approval should be by

            resolution of the House of Representatives or of the Senate, by

            concurrent resolution or by joint resolution.

              (3) joint referral and discharge in the senate.--The presiding

            are hereby approved and shall have the force and effect of

            law:'' (the blank space being appropriately filled in, and the

            less than 60 days after the regulations are issued, except that

            the Board may provide for an earlier effective date for good

            cause found (within the meaning of section 553(d)(3) of title 5,

            United States Code) and published with the regulation.

    [[Page 1307]]

    that satisfy the criteria for dispensing with publication of such notice
    pursuant to section 553(b)(B) of title 5, United States Code.

      (e) amendment of regulations.--Regulations may be amended in the same
    manner as is described in this section for the adoption, approval, and
    issuance of regulations, except that the Board may, in its discretion,
    dispense with publication of a general notice of proposed rulemaking of

      In the 104th Congress the House agreed to a concurrent resolution
    approving with changes regulations promulgated by the Office of
    Compliance (now Office of Congressional Workplace Rights) under this
    provision (S. Con. Res. 51, Apr. 15, 1996, p. 7515). On December 19,

    providing provisional approval of regulations not yet promulgated (H.
    Res. 311, p. 37590; H. Con. Res. 123, p. 37632). The House has rendered

    House in a prior Congress (sec. 3(b), H. Res. 5, Jan. 9, 2023, p. _;
    sec. 3(h), H. Res. 5, Jan. 3, 2025, p. _).

      (a) presidential actions.--Upon submitting a determination to the
    appropriate congressional committees under section 203(c)(1) that a
    transition government in Cuba is in power, the President, after
    consultation with the Congress, is authorized to take steps to suspend
    the economic embargo of Cuba and to suspend the right of action created
    in section 302 [22 U.S.C. 6082] with respect to actions thereafter filed
    against the Cuban Government, to the extent that such steps contribute
    to a stable foundation for a democratically elected government in Cuba.

      (e) review of suspension of economic embargo.--

              (1)  review.--If the President takes action under subsection

            (a) to suspend the economic embargo of Cuba, the President shall

            immediately so notify the Congress. The President shall report

            to the Congress no less frequently than every 6 months

            thereafter, until he submits a determination under section

            203(c)(3) that a democratically elected government in Cuba is in

            power, on the progress being made by Cuba toward the

            establishment of such a democratically elected government. The

    [[Page 1308]]

            action of the President

            under subsection (a) shall cease to be effective upon the

      The following excerpts of chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, do
    not contain privileged procedures for the consideration of a measure in
    the House. They are depicted here because they constitute Rules of the
    House and potentially affect the legislative process. Detailed
    procedures for the consideration in the Senate of a joint resolution
    disapproving an agency rule may be found in the statute (5 U.S.C. 802).

      Sec. 801. congressional review.

      (a)(1)(A) Before a rule can take effect, the Federal agency
    promulgating such rule shall submit to each House of the Congress and to

              (ii) a concise general statement relating to the rule,

            including whether it is a major rule; and

              (iii) the proposed effective date of the rule.

              (i) a complete copy of the cost-benefit analysis of the rule,

            if any;

              (ii) the agency's actions relevant to sections 603, 604, 605,

            607, and 609;

              (iii) the agency's actions relevant to sections 202, 203, 204,

            and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 [2 U.S.C.

            1532-35]; and

            other Act and any relevant Executive orders.

      (C) Upon receipt of a report submitted under subparagraph (A), each
    House shall provide copies of the report to the chairman and ranking
    member of each standing committee with jurisdiction under the rules of
    the House of Representatives or the Senate to report a bill to amend the
    provision of law under which the rule is issued.

      (D) For any rule submitted under subparagraph (A), if the Federal
    agency promulgating the rule, in whole or in part, revokes, suspends,
    replaces, amends, or otherwise makes the rule ineffective, or the rule
    is made ineffective for any other reason, the Federal agency shall
    submit to the Comptroller General a report containing--

              (i) the title of the rule;

              (ii) the Federal Register citation for the rule, if any;

              (iii) the date on which rule was submitted to the Comptroller

            General; and

              (iv) a description of the provisions of the rule that are

            being revoked, suspended, replaced, amended, or otherwise made

            ineffective.

    an assessment of the agency's compliance with procedural steps required
    by paragraph (1)(B).
      (2)(A) The Comptroller General shall provide a report on each major

                      (i) the Congress receives the report submitted under

                      (ii) the rule is published in the Federal Register, if

                    so published;

              (B) if the Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval

            described in section 802 relating to the rule, and the President

            signs a veto of such resolution, the earlier date--

                      (i) on which either House of Congress votes and fails

                    to override the veto of the President; or

                      (ii) occurring 30 session days after the date on which

                    the Congress received the veto and objections of the

                    President; or

              (C) the date the rule would have otherwise taken effect, if

            not for this section (unless a joint resolution of disapproval

            under section 802 is enacted).

      (4) Except for a major rule, a rule shall take effect as otherwise
    provided by law after submission to Congress under paragraph (1).

      (5) Notwithstanding paragraph (3), the effective date of a rule shall
    not be delayed by operation of this chapter beyond the date on which
    either House of Congress votes to reject a joint resolution of
    disapproval under section 802.

      (b)(1) A rule shall not take effect (or continue), if the Congress
    enacts a joint resolution of disapproval, described under section 802,
    of the rule.

      (2) A rule that does not take effect (or does not continue) under
    paragraph (1) may not be reissued in substantially the same form, and a
    new rule that is substantially the same as such a rule may not be
    issued, unless the reissued or new rule is specifically authorized by a
    law enacted after the date of the joint resolution disapproving the
    original rule.

    fect, if the President makes a determination under paragraph (2) and
    submits written notice of such determination to the Congress.
      (c)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section (except
    subject to paragraph (3)), a rule that would not take effect by reason
    of subsection (a)(3) may take ef

      (2) Paragraph (1) applies to a determination made by the President by
    Executive order that the rule should take effect because such rule is--

              (A) necessary because of an imminent threat to health or

            safety or other emergency;

              (B) necessary for the enforcement of criminal laws;

              (C) necessary for national security; or

              (D) issued pursuant to any statute implementing an

            international trade agreement.

      (3) An exercise by the President of the authority under this
    subsection shall have no effect on the procedures under section 802 or
    the effect of a joint resolution of disapproval under this section.

      (d)(1) In addition to the opportunity for review otherwise provided
    under this chapter, in the case of any rule for which a report was

              (B) in the case of the House of Representatives, 60

            legislative days,
    before the date the Congress adjourns a session of Congress through the
    date on which the same or succeeding Congress first convenes its next
    session, section 802 shall apply to such rule in the succeeding session
    of Congress.

      (2)(A) In applying section 802 for purposes of such additional review,
    a rule described under paragraph (1) shall be treated as though--

              (i) such rule were published in the Federal Register (as a

            rule that shall take effect) on--

                      (I) in the case of the Senate, the 15th session day,

                    or

                      (II) in the case of the House of Representatives, the

                    15th legislative day,

            after the succeeding session of Congress first convenes; and

              (ii) a report on such rule were submitted to Congress under

            subsection (a)(1) on such date.

    [[Page 1312]]

      (B) Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to affect the
    requirement under subsection (a)(1) that a report shall be submitted to
    Congress before a rule can take effect.

      (3) A rule described under paragraph (1) shall take effect as
    otherwise provided by law (including other subsections of this section).

                                      * * *

      (f) Any rule that takes effect and later is made of no force or effect
    by enactment of a joint resolution under section 802 shall be treated as
    though such rule had never taken effect.

      (g) If the Congress does not enact a joint resolution of disapproval
    under section 802 respecting a rule, no court or agency may infer any
    intent of the Congress from any action or inaction of the Congress with
    regard to such rule, related statute, or joint resolution of
    disapproval.

      (f) If, before the passage by one House of a joint resolution of that
    House described in subsection (a), that House receives from the other
    House a joint resolution described in subsection (a), then the following
    procedures shall apply:

              (1) The joint resolution of the other House shall not be

    [[Page 1313]]

            referred to a committee.

                    if no joint resolution had been received from the other

                    House; but

                      (B) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint

            of Representatives (in the case of a House joint resolution

            agreed to in the House of Representatives) or the Secretary of

            subsection (a), the Senate receives from the House of

            Representatives a joint resolution introduced under subsection

            (a), then the following procedures shall apply:

                    under subsection (a) in the Senate--

                            (i) the procedure in the Senate shall be the

                        same as if no joint resolution had been received

                        from the House; but

                            (ii)(I) the vote on final passage shall be on

                        the joint resolution of the House if it is identical

                        to the joint resolution then pending for passage in

                        the Senate; or

                            (II) if the joint resolution from the House is

                        not identical to the joint resolution then pending

                        for passage in the Senate and the Senate then passes

                        the Senate joint resolution, the Senate shall be

                        considered to have passed the House joint resolution

                        as amended by the text of the Senate joint

                    from the House, it shall no longer be in order to

                    consider the resolution originated in the Senate.

              (8) Senate action on house resolution.--If the Senate receives

            from the House of Representatives a joint resolution introduced

            under subsection (a) after the Senate has disposed of a Senate

            originated resolution which is identical to the House passed

            joint resolution, the action of the Senate with regard to the

            disposition of the Senate originated joint resolution shall be

            deemed to be the action of the Senate with regard to the House

            originated joint resolution. If it is not identical to the House

            passed joint resolution, then the Senate shall be considered to

            have passed the joint resolution of the House as amended by the

    SEC. 258B. FLEXIBILITY AMONG DEFENSE PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, AND ACTIVITIES.
            text of the Senate joint resolution.

      (a) Subject to subsections (b), (c), and (d), new budget authority and
    unobligated balances for any programs, projects, or activities within
    major functional category 050 (other than a military personnel account)
    may be further reduced beyond the amount specified in an order issued by
    the President under section 254 for such fiscal year. To the extent such
    additional reductions are made and result in additional outlay
    reductions, the President may provide for lesser reductions in new
    budget authority and unobligated balances for other programs, projects,
    or activities within major functional category 050 for such fiscal year,
    but only to the extent that the resulting outlay increases do not exceed
    the additional outlay reductions, and no such program, project, or
    activity may be increased above the level actually made available by law
    in appropriation Acts (before taking sequestration into account). In
    making calculations under this subsection, the President shall use
    account outlay rates that are identical to those used in the report by
    the Director of OMB under section 254.

      (b) No actions taken by the President under subsection (a) for a
    fiscal year may result in a domestic base closure or realignment that

    Code.

    [[Page 1319]]

      (c) The President may not exercise the authority provided by this
    paragraph for a fiscal year unless--

            specifying, for each account, the detailed changes proposed to

            be made for such fiscal year pursuant to this section;

              (2) that report is submitted within 5 calendar days of the

            start of the next session of Congress; and

              (3) a joint resolution affirming or modifying the changes

            proposed by the President pursuant to this paragraph becomes

            law.

      (d) Within 5 calendar days of session after the President submits a
    report to Congress under subsection (c)(1) for a fiscal year, the
    majority leader of each House of Congress shall (by request) introduce a
    joint resolution which contains provisions affirming the changes
    proposed by the President pursuant to this paragraph.

      (e)(1) The matter after the resolving clause in any joint resolution
    introduced pursuant to subsection (d) shall be as follows: ``That the
    report of the President as submitted on [Insert Date] under section 258B
    is hereby approved.''.

      (2) The title of the joint resolution shall be ``Joint resolution
    approving the report of the President submitted under section 258B of
    the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.''.

    * * * * *

      (3) Such joint resolution shall not contain any preamble.

      (l) If, before the passage by the Senate of a joint resolution of the

    (d), then the following procedures shall apply:

              (1) The joint resolution of the House of Representatives shall

            not be referred to a committee.

              (2) With respect to a joint resolution introduced under

            subsection (d) in the Senate--

                      (A) the procedure in the Senate shall be the same as

                    if no joint resolution had been received from the House;

                    but

                      (B)(i) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint

                    resolution of the House if it is identical to the joint

                    resolution then pending for passage in the Senate; or

                      (ii) if the joint resolution from the House is not

                    identical to the joint resolution then pending for

    [[Page 1320]]

                    passage in the Senate and the Senate then passes

                    the Senate joint resolution, the Senate shall be

                    considered to have passed the House joint resolution as

                    amended by the text of the Senate joint resolution.

              (3) Upon disposition of the joint resolution received from the

            House, it shall no longer be in order to consider the joint

            resolution originated in the Senate.

      (m) If the Senate receives from the House of Representatives a joint
    resolution introduced under subsection (d) after the Senate has disposed
    of a Senate originated joint resolution which is identical to the House
    passed joint resolution, the action of the Senate with regard to the
    disposition of the Senate originated joint resolution shall be deemed to
    be the action of the Senate with regard to the House originated joint
    resolution. If it is not identical to the House passed joint resolution,
    then the Senate shall be considered to have passed the joint resolution
    of the House as amended by the text of the Senate joint resolution.

                      (A) legislation introduced pursuant to subsection

                    (a)(1), but only if the legislative proposal upon which

                      (B) with respect to such an amendment, whether the

            section 1105(h) of title 31, United States Code, unless the

            House of Representatives has voted on final passage of any

            medicare funding legislation for which there is an affirmative

            certification under subsection (b)(3)(A), then, after the

            expiration of not less than 30 calendar days (and concurrently 5

            legislative days), it is in order to move to discharge any

            committee to which medicare funding legislation which has such a

            certification and which has been referred to such committee for

            30 calendar days from further consideration of the legislation.

              (2) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual

            favoring the legislation, may be made only if supported by one-

            fifth of the total membership of the House (a quorum being

            present), and is highly privileged in the House. Debate thereon

            divided in the House equally between those favoring and those

            opposing the motion. An amendment to the motion is not in order,

            and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which

            the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

              (3) Only one motion to discharge a particular committee may be

            a session of a Congress if,

            during the previous session of the Congress, the House passed

            medicare funding legislation for which there is an affirmative

            certification under subsection (b)(3)(A).

      (d) Floor Consideration in the House of Discharged Legislation.--

              (1) In the House, not later than 3 legislative days after any

            committee has been discharged from further consideration of

            legislation under subsection (c), the Speaker shall resolve the

            House into the Committee of the Whole for consideration of the

            legislation.

              (2) The first reading of the legislation shall be dispensed

            with. All points of order against consideration of the

            legislation are waived. General debate shall be confined to the

            legislation and shall not exceed five hours, which shall be

            divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the

            legislation. After general debate the legislation shall be

            considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. During

            consideration of the legislation, no amendments shall be in

            order in the House or in the Committee of the Whole except those

            for which there has been an affirmative certification under

            subsection (b)(3)(B). All points of order against consideration

            of any such amendment in the Committee of the Whole are waived.

            The legislation, together with any amendments which shall be in

            order, shall be considered as read. During the consideration of

            the bill for amendment, the chairman of the Committee of the

            Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of whether

            the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in

            the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that

            purpose in clause 8 of Rule XVIII of the Rules of the House of

            Representatives. Debate on any amendment shall not exceed one

            hour, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and

            those opposing the amendment, and no pro forma amendments shall

            be offered during the debate. The total time for debate on all

            amendments shall not exceed 10 hours. At the conclusion of

            consideration of the legislation for amendment, the Committee

            shall rise and report the legislation to the House with such

            amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question shall

            be considered as ordered on the legislation and amendments

            thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one

    [[Page 1329]]

            motion to recommit

            with or without instructions. If the Committee of the Whole

            rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the bill,

            then on the next legislative day the House shall, immediately

            after the third daily order of business under clause 1 of Rule

            XIV of the Rules of the House of Representatives, resolve into

            the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the

            bill.

              (3) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to

            the application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to

            the procedure relating to any such legislation shall be decided

            without debate.

              (4) Except to the extent specifically provided in the

            preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of any

            such legislation and amendments thereto (or any conference

            report thereon) shall be governed by the Rules of the House of

            Representatives applicable to other bills and resolutions,

            amendments, and conference reports in similar circumstances.

      (e) Legislative Day Defined.--As used in this section, the term
    ``legislative day'' means a day on which the House of Representatives is
    in session.

      (f) Restriction on Waiver.--In the House, the provisions of this
    section may be waived only by a rule or order proposing only to waive
    such provisions.

      (g) Rulemaking Power.--The provisions of this section are enacted by
    the Congress--

              (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of

            Representatives and, as such, shall be considered as part of the

            rules of that House and shall supersede other rules only to the

            extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of that

            House to change the rules (so far as they relate to the

            procedures of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and

            to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that

            House.
