- W2602772747 abstract "INTRODUCTIONThe offices of the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico and the Delegates to the House of Representatives from American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are created by statute, not by the Constitution. Because they represent territories and associated jurisdictions, not states, they are not Members of Congress and do not possess the same parliamentary rights afforded Members. This report examines the parliamentary rights of the Delegates and the Resident Commissioner in legislative committee, in the House, and in the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union.IN LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEEUnder Clause 3 of Rule III, the Delegates and the Resident Commissioner are elected to serve on standing committees in the same manner as Representatives and have the same parliamentary powers and privileges as Representatives there-the right to question witnesses, to debate, offer amendments, vote, offer motions, raise points of order, include additional views in committee reports, accrue seniority, and chair committees and subcommittees. The same rule authorizes the Speaker to appoint Delegates and the Resident Commissioner to conference committees as well as to service on select and joint committees.IN THE HOUSEThe Delegates and the Resident Commissioner may not vote in or preside over the House [1]. While they take an oath to uphold the Constitution, they are not included on the Clerk's roll of Members-elect, and may not vote for Speaker. They may not file or sign discharge petitions. They may, however, sponsor and cosponsor legislation, participate in debate, including managing time, and offer any motion which a Representative may make, except the motion to reconsider [2]. A Delegate or Resident Commissioner may raise points of order and questions of personal privilege, call a Member to order, appeal rulings of the chair, file reports for committees, object to the consideration of a bill, and move impeachment proceedings.IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE ON THE STATE OF THE UNIONUnder the rules of the 112th Congress, the Delegates and the Resident Commissioner may not vote in or preside over the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union. Under Rule III and Rule XVIII, as adopted in both the 110th and 111th Congresses (2007-2010), when the House was sitting as the Committee of the Whole, the Delegates and Resident Commissioner had the same ability to vote as Representatives, subject to immediate reconsideration in the House when their recorded votes had been decisive in the Committee. These prior House rules also authorized the Speaker to appoint a Delegate or the Resident Commissioner to preside as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole.These rules of the 110th and 111th Congresses were identical in effect to those in force in the 103rd Congress (1993-1994), which permitted the Delegates and the Resident Commissioner to vote in, and to preside over, the Committee of the Whole. These provisions were stricken from the rules as adopted in the 104th Congress (1995-1996) and remained out of effect until readopted in the 110th Congress [3] They were again removed from House rules at the beginning of the 112th Congress (2011-2012).[4] At the time of the adoption of the 1993 rule, then-Minority Leader Robert H. Michel and 12 other Representatives filed suit against the Clerk of the House and the territorial delegates, seeking a declaration that the rule was unconstitutional. …" @default.
