The House rejected a procedural move to send H.R. 1526, a bill limiting nationwide court orders, back to the Judiciary Committee.
This vote was on a 'Motion to Recommit' regarding H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025. The underlying bill seeks to prevent individual federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions that block government policies across the entire country. Instead, it would require a special three-judge panel to handle major legal challenges brought by multiple states against the executive branch. In the House of Representatives, a Motion to Recommit is a procedural tool usually offered by the opposition party. Under current rules, it is a simple request to send the bill back to the committee that first handled it, effectively ending its progress for the time being. It does not include specific changes to the bill; it is simply a final attempt to delay or stop the legislation before a final vote on whether it should become law. The motion failed 212-217. While the vote followed general party lines—with most Democrats in favor and most Republicans opposed—it was notable for the 93 Republicans who joined Democrats in voting to send the bill back. Because the motion failed, the House was able to proceed immediately to a final vote on the bill itself.
The House proceeded to a final vote on the passage of H.R. 1526, which occurred on the same day.
