Majority Rule Resolution

This concurrent resolution, known as the "Majority Rule Resolution" , seeks to establish new procedures for ending debate in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It stipulates that neither chamber may require more than a simple majority vote of its members, with a quorum present, to bring debate to a close on any question. This provision effectively overrides any existing rules, such as the Senate's 60-vote threshold for cloture, that mandate a supermajority to end debate. The resolution clarifies that these changes are enacted under the rulemaking power of each House, recognizing their constitutional authority to modify their own procedures.
