House GOP proposes new rules for next Congress — including a 'crucial alteration': report
Raw StoryHouse Republicans on Wednesday proposed a new slate of rules for the next Congress, including one flagged by Axios as a "crucial alternation." Among the changes to the standing rules proposed: "A resolution causing a vacancy in the Office of Speaker shall not be privileged except if it is offered by a member of the majority party and has accumulated eight cosponsors from the majority party at the time it is offered." The change stems from a GOP deal agreed to in November as the party prepares to renominate House Speaker Mike Johnson. Axios reported that the proposed rules also scrap the Congressional Diversity & Inclusion Office and reverts the name of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
