House Rules Change: Higher Support Required for Member Conduct Resolutions.

This resolution modifies the internal rules of the House of Representatives, making it more difficult to quickly introduce resolutions addressing the conduct or ethics of Congress members. Such resolutions now require the co-sponsorship of at least one-fifth of the total House membership before they can be considered on the floor. This change affects the internal accountability mechanisms within Congress.
Key points
Requires 1/5 of the total House membership to co-sponsor resolutions addressing the conduct of any Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner.
The change applies to 'questions of privilege' resolutions and remains in effect for the remainder of the 119th Congress.
The goal is to limit the ability to quickly force a vote on resolutions accusing members without broad support.
