98-448 Similarly, if the Committee on Appropriations knew that a provision of a conference report might be subject to the point of order, it might omit the provision, or else report it in technical disagreement, so that it would be subject to a separate vote in the House without working the defeat of the conference report. If the Committee on Appropriations knew that a provision of an appropriation bill might be subject to the point of order, it might omit the provision from the bill in advance, or seek a waiver from the Committee on Rules. In their present form, the procedural mechanisms of UMRA and House rules emphasize chiefly the regulation of proposed mandates on state, local, and tribal governments, called "intergovernmental mandates." The Mandates Information Act would extend similar mechanisms to mandates on the private sector. countingcalifornia.cdlib.org /crs/ascii/98-448   (4079 words)

U.S. Congress and Television House rules are similar to Senate rules regarding the conduct of televised hearings. Most rules are similar to those in the House, save for the prohibition on panning the chamber that remains in effect (except during roll-call votes) for the Senate chamber. Such rules generally require that television coverage be prohibited at the request of a committee witness; that television cameras, lights and microphones be unobtrusive; that television personnel conduct themselves in an orderly fashion inside the hearing room; and that no commercial sponsorship of committee hearings be allowed. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/U/htmlU/uscongress/uscongress.htm   (986 words)

Republicans seek complaint against minority leader The committee’s public admonishment of DeLay enabled his enemies to bash him relentlessly, even though DeLay was found not to have violated House rules. House Republican leaders, less choleric than the rank-and-file members who want to target Pelosi, are discussing reforming the procedures of the Standards of Official Conduct Committee, as the ethics panel is formally known, to tighten confidentiality of ethics proceedings and give accused lawmakers more opportunity to defend themselves. DeLay’s lawyer, former Rep. Ed Bethune (R-Ark.), said DeLay was given only two hours to read and respond to the committee’s findings before it was released. www.thehill.com /thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/121504/ethics.html   (971 words)

Rolling Stone : Four Amendments & a Funeral The House Rules Committee is perhaps the free world's outstanding bureaucratic abomination -- a tiny, airless closet deep in the labyrinth of the Capitol where some of the very meanest people on earth spend their days cleaning democracy like a fish. Unlike on most committees, whose chairmen are usually chosen on the basis of seniority, the Rules chairman is the appointee of the Speaker of the House. The Rules Committee meets in a squalid little space the size of a high school classroom, with poor lighting and nothing on the walls but lifeless landscapes and portraits of stern-looking congressmen of yore. www.rollingstone.com /news/story/_/id/7539869?rnd=1124166096406&has-player=false   (7120 words)

CNN.com - House reverses ethics rule changes - Apr 27, 2005 DeLay was admonished by the committee on three separate matters last year, and new questions have been raised about whether a lobbyist paid for some of his foreign travel, in violation of the rules. The rules in effect before January allowed investigations to begin if the ethics chairman and ranking minority member failed to act on a complaint in 45 days and no other member requested full committee consideration. Senior committee Democrat Alan Mollohan of West Virginia countered that the Republican rules would have damaged the committee's ability to conduct investigations. www.cnn.com /2005/POLITICS/04/27/ethics.committee.ap   (709 words)

New House Rules:  A Victory For Congressional Reform Although House Rules have strictly prohibited one Member of Congress from casting votes for another on the House floor (indeed, ethics reprimands have been triggered by this rule's violation), proxy voting was the norm in most committees in the 103rd Congress. One particularly egregious abuse of House procedures has been the practice of the blanket rules waiver, which authorizes departure from all House rules. The Republicans' Contract With America includes term limits and eight changes in House rules which the candidates promised would be enacted on the first day of the 104th Congress. www.heritage.org /Research/GovernmentReform/BG1013.cfm   (5648 words)

U.S. Congressman Kenny Hulshof : 9th District of Missouri The Joint Economic Committee noted the tax reduces the stock of capital in the economy by $497 billion, or 3.2%. This quirk in the law can be directly attributed to the Senate’s Byrd rule, which applies to the consideration of reconciliation bills.

Bloomberg.com: U.S. The House ethics committee last month said DeLay violated House rules by contacting the Federal Aviation Administration to help track a plane carrying Texas Democratic lawmakers outside the state -- to avoid a quorum for legislative action --during the redistricting battle in the Texas statehouse.
