‘‘(B) After a committee reports or is discharged from 
a privileged resolution, no other resolution with respect to 
the same or related hostilities may be reported by or be 
discharged from such committee while the first resolu-

on the calendar),

Rule 22. Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subpara-
graph or subparagraph (B) of this paragraph (insofar as 
it relates to germaneness and relevancy of amendments), 
all points of order against a privileged resolution and con-
sideration of the resolution are waived. The motion is priv-
ileged and is not debatable. The motion is not subject to 
a motion to postpone. A motion to reconsider the vote by 
which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall be in 
order, except that such motion may not be entered for fu-
ture disposition. If a motion to proceed to the consider-
ation of a privileged resolution is agreed to, the resolution 
shall remain the unfinished business of the Senate, to the 
exclusion of all other business, until disposed of, except 
as otherwise provided in paragraph (6)(A). 
‘‘(ii) Whenever a point of order is raised in the Senate 
against the privileged status of a resolution that has been 
laid before the Senate and been initially identified as privi-
leged for consideration under this subsection upon its in-
troduction, such point of order shall be submitted directly 
to the Senate. The point of order, ‘The resolution is not 
privileged under the Constitutional War Powers Resolu-
tion’, shall be decided by the yeas and the nays after four 
hours of debate, equally divided between, and controlled 
by, the Member raising the point of order and the man-
ager of the resolution, except that in the event the man-

ager is in favor of such point of order, the time in opposi-
tion thereto shall be controlled by the Minority Leader or 
his designee. Such point of order shall not be considered 
to establish precedent for determination of future cases. 
‘‘(B)(i) Consideration in the Senate of a privileged 
resolution, and all amendments and debatable motions in 
connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 
12 hours, which, except as otherwise provided in this sub-
section, shall be equally divided between, and controlled 
by, the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader, or by 
their designees. The Majority Leader or the Minority 
Leader or their designees may, from the time under their 
control on the resolution, allot additional time to any Sen-
ator during the consideration of any amendment, debat-
able motion, or appeal. 
‘‘(ii) Only amendments which are germane and rel-
evant to a privileged resolution are in order. 
‘‘(iii) Debate on any amendment to a privileged reso-
lution shall be limited to two hours, except that this limita-
tion does not apply to an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute to the text of the resolution that is reported 
by the Committee on Foreign Relations. Debate on any 
amendment to an amendment shall be limited to 1 hour.

of the amendment and the manager of the resolution, ex-
cept that in the event the manager is in favor of any such 
amendment, the time in opposition thereto shall be con-
trolled by the Minority Leader or his designee. 
‘‘(v) One amendment by the Minority Leader is in 
order to be offered under a one-hour time limitation imme-
diately following the expiration of the 12-hour time limita-
tion if the Minority Leader has had no opportunity prior 
thereto to offer an amendment to the privileged resolution. 
One amendment may be offered to the amendment of the 
Minority Leader under the preceding sentence, and debate 
shall be limited on such amendment to one-half hour which 
shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the 
mover of the amendment and the manager of the resolu-
tion, except that in the event the manager is in favor of 
any such amendment, the time in opposition thereto shall 
be controlled by the Minority Leader or his designee. 
‘‘(vi) A motion to postpone or a motion to recommit 
a privileged resolution is not in order. A motion to recon-
sider the vote by which a privileged resolution is agreed 
to or disagreed to is in order, except that such motion 
may not be entered for future disposition, and debate on 
such motion shall be limited to 1 hour.
