    President may, at any time, terminate by Executive order any waiver
    granted under this subsection.

      (d)(1) If the President determines that the further extension of the

            granted under subsection (c) is in effect, a determination that

    resolution.

      (C) A joint resolution to which this subsection and section 153 apply

    resolution described in section 152(a)(i)(B) is enacted into law that
    disapproves of the report submitted by the President with respect to
    such country, then, beginning with the day after the end of the 60-day
    period beginning with the date of the enactment of such resolution of
    disapproval, (A) nondiscriminatory treatment shall not be in force with

    countries.--(a) rules of house of representatives and senate.--This
    section and sections 152 and 153 are enacted by the Congress--

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

            Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such they

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

            or more revenue measures by reason of which it must originate in

            the House of Representatives.

              (3) The term ``approval resolution'' means only a joint

            resolution of the two Houses of the Congress, the matter after

    the Senate by the majority leader of the Senate, for himself and the
    minority leader of the Senate, or by Members of the Senate designated by
    the majority leader and minority leader of the Senate. If either House

    provided in the preceding sentence, on the first day thereafter on which
    the House is

    shall be introduced (by request) in the Senate by the majority leader of
    the Senate, for himself and the minority leader of the Senate, or by

    bill or resolution is reported by the committee or committees of that
    House to which it was referred, or after such committee or committees
    have been discharged from further consideration of the bill or
    resolution. If prior to the passage by one House of an implementing bill
    or approval resolution of that House, that House receives the same
    implementing bill or approval resolution from the other House, then--
      (e) period for committee and floor consideration.--(1) Except as
    provided in paragraph (2), if the committee or committees of either
    House to which an implementing bill or approval resolution has been
    referred have not reported it at the close of the 45th day after its
    introduction, such committee or committees shall be automatically
    discharged from further consideration of the bill or resolution and it
    shall be placed on the appropriate calendar. A vote on final passage of
    the bill or resolution shall be taken in each House on or before the
    close of the 15th day after the

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

            implementing bill or approval resolution had been received from

            the other House; but

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

            bill or approval resolution of the other House.

      (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not apply in the Senate to
    an implementing revenue bill or resolution. An implementing revenue bill
    or resolution received from the House shall be referred to the
    appropriate committee or committees of the Senate. If such committee or
    committees have not reported such bill at the close of the 15th day
    after its receipt by the Senate (or, if later, before the close of the
    45th day after the corresponding implementing revenue bill or resolution
    was introduced in the Senate), such committee or committees shall be
    automatically discharged from further consideration of such bill or
    resolution and it shall be placed on the calendar. A vote on final
    passage of such bill or resolution shall be taken in the Senate on or
    before the close of the 15th day after such bill or resolution is
    reported by the committee or committees of the Senate to which it was
    referred, or after such committee or committees have been discharged
    from further consideration of such bill or resolution.

      (3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), in computing a number of
    days in either House, there shall be excluded any day on which that
    House was not in session.

      (f) floor consideration in the house.--(1) A motion in the House of
    Representatives to proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill
    or approval 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.

    [[Page 1221]]

    able. It shall not be in order to move to recommit an implementing bill
    or approval resolution or to move to reconsider the vote by which an
    implementing bill or approval resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.
      (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be limited to not more than 20 hours, which
    shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
    bill or resolution. A motion further to limit debate shall not be debat

      (3) Motions to postpone, made in the House of Representatives with
    respect to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    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 an implementing bill or approval resolution shall
    be decided without debate.

      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be governed by the Rules of the House of
    Representatives applicable to other bills and resolutions in similar
    circumstances.

      (g) floor consideration in the senate.--(1) A motion in the Senate to
    proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    resolution shall be 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.

      (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)

            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

            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

    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.

    offered pursuant to the provisions of this statute, is nondebatable, and
    represents final adverse disposition of the disapproval resolution (Mar.
    10, 1977, p. 7021).
