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 resolution expresses the opinion of the House of Representatives that the Senate's rules on filibusters and cloture (the process used to end debate and move to a vote) go against what the Constitution intended for how Congress should work. It argues that these Senate rules take away the voice of House members and the people they represent, and upset the balance of power between the two chambers of Congress.
