The motion is highly privileged and is in order even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to. All points of order against the joint resolution and its consideration are waived. If the motion is agreed to, the resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the House until disposed of, to the exclusion of all other business (other than a motion to adjourn), except as provided in subsection (e)(1). A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is disagreed to is not in order. `(2) Debate on the joint resolution shall not exceed 4 hours, which shall be divided equally between a Member favoring and a Member opposing the resolution. `(3) An amendment to the joint resolution is not in order. The joint resolution is not divisible. `(4) At the conclusion of debate on the joint resolution the Committee of the Whole shall rise and report the joint resolution back to the House, and the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the joint resolution to final passage without intervening motion. `(e)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), if, before the passage by the House of Representatives of a joint resolution of the House, the House receives an identical joint resolution from the Senate, then the following procedures shall apply: `(A) The joint resolution from the Senate shall not be referred to a committee. `(B) With respect to a joint resolution of the House-- `(i) the procedure in the House shall be the same as if no joint resolution had been received from the Senate; but `(ii)(I) the joint resolution from the Senate shall be considered to have been read for the third time; and `(II) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint resolution from the Senate (rather than on the joint resolution of the House) and shall occur without debate or any intervening action. `(C) Upon disposition of the joint resolution received from the Senate, consideration of the joint resolution of the House shall no longer be privileged under this section. `(2) If the House receives from the Senate a joint resolution before an identical joint resolution is introduced in the House under section 5(b)(2), then the joint resolution of the Senate shall be referred to the appropriate committee or committees and the procedures in the House with respect to that joint resolution shall be the same under this section as if the joint resolution received had been introduced in the House under section 5(b)(2). `(f) If the House receives from the Senate a joint resolution after the House has disposed of an identical joint resolution, it shall be in order to proceed by nondebatable motion, which shall be highly privileged to consideration of the joint resolution from the Senate, and that joint resolution shall be disposed of without debate and without amendment. `(g) If a joint resolution is vetoed by the President, upon the message of the President being laid before the House and immediately after the reading of the veto message and without intervening motion or business, the Speaker shall state as pending the question shall the House on reconsideration pass the joint resolution, the objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding. `(h) This section is enacted by the House of Representatives-- `(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of Representatives, and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of the House, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in the House in the case of a joint resolution, and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and `(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the House to change its rules (so far as they relate to the procedure of the House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the House. `SENATE PRIORITY PROCEDURES FOR JOINT RESOLUTIONS `SEC. 7. (a)(1) This section applies to the consideration of a joint resolution in the Senate. `(2) For purposes of this section, the term `joint resolution' means a joint resolution described in section 5(b)(2). `(b) A joint resolution introduced in the Senate shall be referred to the appropriate committee or committees. `(c)(1) If any committee to which a joint resolution has been referred has not reported that joint resolution at the end of 7 calendar days after the introduction of that joint resolution, that committee shall be discharged from further consideration of that joint resolution, and that joint resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the Senate. `(2) After a joint resolution has been placed on the calendar, no other joint resolution under section 5(b)(2) with respect to the same hostilities or the same situation in which imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances (as the case may be) may be reported by or be discharged from any committee while the first joint resolution is before the Senate (including remaining on the calendar), a committee of conference, or the President. `(d)(1)(A) When a joint resolution has been placed on the calendar, notwithstanding any rule or precedent of the Senate, including Rule 22, it is at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the Senate to move to proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution and, except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, all points of order against the joint resolution and consideration of the joint resolution are waived.

The point of order, `The joint resolution is not privileged under the War Powers Resolution', shall be decided by the yeas and the nays after 1 hour of debate, equally divided between, and controlled by, the Member raising the point of order and the manager of the joint resolution, except that in the event the manager is in favor of such point of order, the time in opposition 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. `(2)(A) Consideration in the Senate of the joint resolution, and all debatable motions in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 4 hours, which 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 joint resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal. `(B) An amendment to the joint resolution is not in order. The joint resolution is not divisible. `(C) A motion to postpone or a motion to recommit the joint resolution is not in order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the joint 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. `(3) Whenever all the time for debate on a joint resolution has been used or yielded back, the vote on the adoption of the joint resolution shall occur without any intervening motion, except that a single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the Senate may occur immediately before such vote. `(4) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the Rules of the Senate to the procedure relating to a joint resolution shall be limited to one-half hour of debate, equally divided between, and controlled by, the Member making the appeal and the manager of the joint resolution, except that in the event the manager is in favor of any such appeal, the time in opposition thereto shall be controlled by the Minority Leader or his designee. `(e)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), if, before the passage by the Senate of a joint resolution of the Senate, the Senate receives an identical joint resolution from the House of Representatives, then the following procedures shall apply: `(A) The joint resolution of the House of Representatives shall not be referred to a committee. `(B) With respect to a joint resolution of the Senate-- `(i) the procedure in the Senate shall be the same as if no joint resolution had been received from the House of Representatives; but `(ii)(I) the joint resolution from the House of Representatives shall be considered to have been read for the third time; and `(II) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint resolution from the House of Representatives, and such vote on final passage shall occur without debate or any intervening action. `(C) Upon disposition of the joint resolution received from the House of Representatives, it shall no longer be in order to consider the joint resolution originated in the Senate. `(2) If Senate receives a joint resolution from the House of Representatives before an identical joint resolution is introduced in the Senate under section 5(b)(2), then the joint resolution received shall be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and the procedures in the Senate with respect to that joint resolution shall be the same under this section as if the joint resolution received had been introduced in the Senate under section 5(b)(2). `(f) If the Senate receives a joint resolution from the House of Representatives after the Senate has disposed of an identical joint resolution, it shall be in order to proceed by nondebatable motion to consideration of the joint resolution received by the Senate, and that joint resolution shall be disposed of without debate and without amendment. `(g) If a joint resolution is vetoed by the President, the time for debate in consideration of the veto message on such measure shall be limited to 1 hour in the Senate, equally divided between, and controlled by, the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader, or their designees. `(h) This section is enacted by the Senate-- `(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, as such it is deemed a part of the rules of the Senate, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in the Senate in the case of a joint resolution, and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and `(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the Senate to change its rules (so far as they relate to the procedure of the Senate) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the Senate.'.
