Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J.Res.4) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that debate upon legislation pending before the Senate may not be brought to a close without the concurrence of a minimum of three-fifths of the Senators.

This House Resolution establishes the procedural rules for the House of Representatives to consider H.J. Res. 4, a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the United States Constitution. The proposed constitutional amendment would mandate that debate on legislation in the Senate cannot be concluded without the concurrence of at least three-fifths of the Senators . The resolution waives all points of order against the consideration of H.J. Res. 4 and its provisions, and specifies that an amendment in the nature of a substitute, if submitted by Representative Fitzpatrick, shall be considered adopted. It also limits debate on the joint resolution to one hour, equally divided, and allows for one motion to recommit before a final passage vote.
