Higher Bar for Disciplining Congress Members: 60% Vote Required.
This proposal changes the rules of the House of Representatives, raising the threshold needed to discipline a member of Congress (such as censure, disapproval, or removal from a committee). Instead of a simple majority, at least 60% of voting members will be required. This makes it harder to discipline elected officials, potentially affecting their accountability to the public.
Key points
Introduction of a supermajority requirement (60% of votes) to censure or disapprove a Member of the House of Representatives.
Removing a Congress member from committee assignments will now require 60% support, increasing protection for officials against internal sanctions.
