AI Summary

  • Prohibits both the House of Representatives and Senate from requiring more than a simple majority vote to end debate on any question, effectively eliminating the Senate filibuster's 60-vote cloture requirement

  • Overrides existing chamber rules to establish that only a majority of members voting (with a quorum present) is needed to close debate

  • Enacted as an exercise of congressional rulemaking power, becoming part of each chamber's rules but only applying to specific bills or joint resolutions under consideration

  • Preserves each chamber's constitutional authority to change its own procedural rules at any time through the same process used for other rule changes

  • Introduced January 28, 2025 by Rep. Williams of Georgia and referred to the House Committee on Rules
