Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution sets up the rules for House consideration of H.R. 4, which would block certain spending cuts that the President proposed on June 3, 2025. The resolution waives procedural objections to the bill and limits House debate to one hour, with equal time for majority and minority leaders. It also removes normal timeline restrictions that would typically apply when Congress reviews presidential spending rescissions under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act. The resolution affects how quickly Congress can act on the President's proposed budget cuts, allowing for expedited consideration without the usual procedural delays. Additionally, it automatically adopts House Resolution 492 as part of this process.
