Providing for disposition of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 7147) making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

Enumerated powers · passes

The House has explicit constitutional authority to determine the rules of its own proceedings under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2. The resolution is procedural and facilitates consideration of an appropriations bill, which is within Congress's Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 power over appropriations. No enumerated power is exceeded.

Bill of Rights · passes

The resolution is a housekeeping rule for legislative consideration. It does not regulate speech, religion, press, assembly, petition, arms, quartering, searches, seizures, criminal procedure, jury trial, or punishment. It therefore does not infringe any provision of the Bill of Rights.

Individual liberty · passes

The resolution does not restrict what any person may do with their own person, property, speech, labor, or belief. It only sets the terms under which the House considers a Senate amendment. The burden on individual sovereignty is nonexistent.

Decentralization · passes

Federal appropriations for the fiscal year of the United States are inherently national in scope and cannot be handled by individuals, local communities, or states. The resolution acts at the federal level because the Constitution assigns appropriations and legislative procedure to Congress. It does not consolidate decision-making higher than the minimum necessary.

Due process and takings · passes

The resolution is legislative procedure, not an adjudication or a taking. It provides no penalty, deprives no person of life, liberty, or property, and does not bypass any hearing or judicial process. The Fifth Amendment due process and takings protections are not implicated.
