House of Representatives rules

This looks great, thanks for doing it!

So, tell me if I'm reading this right: in terms of legislation debate, a final vote can only be called on a contentious bill after the bill has been on the floor for 72 and has had no debate for 36 hours? In an example where there was one amendment that fixes all the issues senators have (not uncommon), you'd then have to wait for 36 hours after that amendment passed to open a final vote?

Just trying to get a firm grasp on this - it all looks great, just thinking of how a clause could be added in there to let the PPT open votes sooner.

Other than that, the only change I would want to make before this being introduced is moving all pronouns to gender-neutral.

Not quite: I understand it can be waived in the first 72 hours, but say after a week of debating a bill, an amendment passes that kind of wraps up discussion. Do you then have to wait to open up a final vote for 36 hours or is there a way it can be opened soon?

I may be completely off on this, I'm not 100% sure what the procedure was before, but I'd think the PPT should be able to open a final vote pretty quickly in those types of situations.

It does, thanks. Looks good!
