The Rules Committee:
The Rule Committee determines when and how bills are considered on the House floor through special orders known as “special rules.” It also considers original jurisdiction measures, which often affect the standing rules of the House.
The One Hundred Fifteenth United States Congress:
The 115th Congress makes up the current Legislative Branch of the United States Federal Government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. Sworn in on Jan. 03, 2017, it is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C. now until January 3, 2019, which takes place during the final weeks of the Obama presidency and the first two years of the Trump presidency. The elections of November 2016 maintained Republican control of both the House and Senate.
