Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Senate's current cloture and filibuster rules are contrary to the constitutional design of two co-equal majoritarian legislative bodies, are non-deliberative in practice, disenfranchise Members of the House of Representatives and their constituents, and disrupt the proper balance of powers between the two chambers of Congress, and for other purposes.

This is a non-substantive resolution expressing the House of Representatives' position that the Senate's filibuster and cloture rules are contrary to constitutional design, non-deliberative in practice, and disenfranchise House members and their constituents. The resolution contains findings arguing that the Framers intended Congress to operate on majority-rule principles, that the modern filibuster allows a 41-senator minority to block legislation without debate, and that this undermines the constitutional balance between the two chambers. The resolution does not enact any binding legislation or policy changes.
