115th Congress Previous Questions
January 10, 2017
Report
What is a Motion on Ordering the Previous Question on the Rule?
Defeating the previous question gives the minority party the opportunity to decide what bill or amendments the House will consider. When the motion for the previous question is defeated, control of the time passes to the Member who led the opposition to ordering the previous question. That Member, because he or she then controls the time, may offer an amendment to the rule, or yield for the purpose of amendment. In essence, defeat of the previous question gives the minority party control of the floor and of the schedule for the U.S. House of Representatives, pertaining to the Rule that is being debated.
Politico's David Rogers writes of the significance and impact of Previous Question votes here.
