  Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 37) 
directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in 
   the Republic of Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress; 
   waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to 
  consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on 
Rules; and providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules.

    Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the 
Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House 
resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the 
Union for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 37) 
directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in 
the Republic of Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress. The 
first reading of the joint resolution shall be dispensed with. All 
points of order against consideration of the joint resolution are 
waived. General debate shall be confined to the joint resolution and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. After 
general debate the joint resolution shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an 
original joint resolution for the purpose of amendment under the five-
minute rule an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of 
the text of Rules Committee Print 116-4. That amendment in the nature 
of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order 
against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in 
order except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. Each such amendment may be offered only 
in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of 
order against such amendments are waived. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the joint resolution for amendment the Committee shall 
rise and report the joint resolution to the House with such amendments 
as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the 
House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the 
joint resolution or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made 
in order as original text. The previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on the joint resolution and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
    Sec. 2.  The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-
thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the 
same day it is presented to the House is waived with respect to any 
resolution reported through the legislative day of February 17, 2019, 
relating to a measure making or continuing appropriations for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.
    Sec. 3.  It shall be in order at any time through the calendar day 
of February 17, 2019, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the 
House suspend the rules as though under clause 1 of rule XV. The 
Speaker or her designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or his 
designee on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to 
this section.
    Sec. 4.  The chair of the Committee on Appropriations may insert in 
the Congressional Record not later than February 17, 2019, such 
material as she may deem explanatory of measures making or continuing 
appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.
