Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Adopted
The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.
Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.
Its path through Congress
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
This resolution provides for the consideration of two specific bills: H.R. 7148 and H.R. 7147. Both bills are intended to make further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The resolution establishes specific rules for debate, amendments, and the process for considering these bills in the House. It also outlines instructions for the Clerk regarding the merging of text from H.R. 7006 into H.R. 7148. Additionally, it mandates that H.R. 7147 must be passed before a message regarding the passage of H.R. 7148 is sent to the Senate.
Does this make what the government does easier for the public to see?

Procedural Restrictions: Under Sec. 1, the resolution waives points of order and limits general debate to one hour, which restricts the scope of discussion for H.R. 7148.
Mandatory Sequential Passage: Under Sec. 4, the Clerk is prohibited from notifying the Senate that H.R. 7148 has passed until H.R. 7147 has been passed by the House, creating a specific order of operations that must be followed.
