Motion to Discharge Committee filed by Mr. Meeks. Petition No: 119-7. (<a href="https://clerk.house.gov/DischargePetition/2025071707">Discharge petition</a> text with signatures.)
H.Res. 462 is a procedural measure that allows the House of Representatives to quickly consider H.J. Res. 91, a joint resolution related to a national emergency declared by the President on April 2, 2025. The resolution streamlines the debate process by limiting discussion to one hour (split equally between majority and minority), waiving various procedural objections, and allowing only one motion to recommit before a final vote. This type of procedural resolution is a standard legislative tool used when Congress wants to expedite consideration of important matters. No funding is allocated in this measure, as it simply sets the rules for how the House will debate and vote on the underlying emergency resolution. The House must send its passage decision to the Senate within one week.
