BBA 2019 (Contents)
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019
Section 209
TITLE II—Establishing A Congressional Budget
SEC. 209. Exercise of Rulemaking Powers.
The sections of this title are enacted by the Congress—
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, respectively, or of that House to which they specifically apply, and such rules shall supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change such rules (so far as relating to such House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of such House.
Counsel Notes
PRIOR LEgislation
The text in this section is almost always included when the rules in Congress are effected. Though it has no real substantive effect as the Constitution is very clear on the matter of Congressional prerogative on determining its own rules, the House Committee on Rules is particularly insistent on its inclusion in any legislation even appearing to implicate the rules of the House. The reason the BBA 2015 escaped its insertion is likely because no deeming resolution language applying to the House was set forth in the bill.
To see the context in which the BBA 2019 was enacted, see the Budget Control Act and Its Progeny.
