This needs a sponsor.

This needs a sponsor.

I will sponsor

[Lumine]

24 hours for objections to the proposed Sponsor.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

This Constitutional amendment is greatly needed.

[fhtagn]

I don't have any issues with this.

[JGibson]

I see no issues with this bill. This deserves passage.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Once sponsorship is given, I motion to waive the rules and move on to a final vote given the lack of opposition in the Senate and here.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Obviously, this is a great amendment.

[fhtagn]

Once sponsorship is given, I motion to waive the rules and move on to a final vote given the lack of opposition in the Senate and here.

Should be noted, only the presiding officer can do that.

Article 4: Debate

1.) After a piece of legislation is introduced to the House of Representatives floor, debate shall begin immediately. Debate on the legislation shall last for no less than 72 hours. The House of Representatives may waive the 72-hour requirement on any legislation by passing cloture by unanimous consent. To waive the 72-hour requirement, the presiding officer must request unanimous consent to waive the minimum debate time requirement and provide 24 hours for a representative to object to this request. If the 72-hour requirement is waived, the presiding officer shall immediately open a final vote.
