Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner from cohabitating with any employee of the House of Representatives.
This resolution would amend the House Rules to prohibit members of Congress, delegates, and resident commissioners from living together with any House employee, with an exception for married couples. The rule would apply to all current and future members and affect the personal living arrangements of congressional leadership and staff relationships. The resolution does not establish any funding requirements or implementation timeline, as it simply modifies the existing ethics rules governing House members' conduct. The change would be enforced through the House Ethics Committee, which would oversee compliance with the new cohabitation restriction. This proposal was introduced on July 30, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Ethics for consideration.
