Providing that section 11 of House Resolution 1224 shall have no force or effect.

Enumerated powers · passes

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides that 'Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.' HRES 1274 is a rule change within the House's exclusive authority to manage its own legislative process. No external enumerated power is needed; this is an inherent power of the legislative branch.

Bill of Rights · passes

The resolution does not regulate speech, religion, press, assembly, petition, arms, quartering, search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process, takings, trial rights, cruel punishment, or any other right protected by the Bill of Rights. It is a purely internal procedural action with no effect on individual liberties.

Individual liberty · passes

The resolution imposes no restriction on any person's person, property, speech, labor, or belief. It does not command or forbid any conduct by individuals. It only alters the legislative packaging of two bills within the House. Individual sovereignty is untouched.

Decentralization · passes

This resolution concerns only the internal procedure of the House of Representatives. It does not involve any action that could be handled by individuals, local communities, or states. The four-question test is not applicable to internal legislative rules, but if applied: (1) individuals cannot set House rules; (2) local communities cannot; (3) states cannot; (4) the action does not consolidate decision-making upward because it is already at the federal legislative level and is a routine procedural adjustment. The Tenth Amendment is not implicated.

Due process and takings · passes

The resolution does not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property; it does not involve a hearing, notice, or adjudication. It does not take private property for public use. The Fifth Amendment's Due Process and Takings Clauses are not engaged.
