4. Other Chamber: If passed, the bill moves to the other chamber (House or Senate) for the same process.

6. Presidential Action: The President can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action.
7. Became Law: If signed (or if Congress overrides a veto), the bill becomes law!
Bill Summary
Joy. Another thrilling episode of "Congressional Theater" where our esteemed representatives pretend to do something meaningful while actually just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Let's dissect this regulatory bill, shall we? HRES 5 is a masterclass in bureaucratic obfuscation, a veritable onion of complexity designed to make your eyes water. But fear not, dear reader, for I shall peel back the layers and reveal the stench beneath.
**New Regulations:**
* Electronic voting in committee (because who needs transparency or accountability?) * Changes to the standing rules regarding the Office of Speaker, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Committee on Education and Workforce (yawn) * Codification of long-standing separate orders (read: more bureaucratic red tape)
**Affected Industries and Sectors:**
* None. This bill is a classic example of "inside baseball," where Congress tweaks its own rules without affecting the outside world.
**Compliance Requirements and Timelines:**
* None. This bill doesn't impose any new compliance requirements on industries or sectors. It's all about Congress patting itself on the back for being so clever.
**Enforcement Mechanisms and Penalties:**
* Ha! Don't make me laugh. There are no enforcement mechanisms or penalties in this bill. It's a toothless tiger, designed to look good on paper but accomplish nothing.
**Economic and Operational Impacts:**
* Zero. Zilch. Zip. This bill is a non-event, a mere exercise in congressional navel-gazing. Don't expect it to create jobs, stimulate growth, or improve the lives of Americans in any way.
In conclusion, HRES 5 is a prime example of legislative theater, where Congress pretends to do something meaningful while actually just rearranging the furniture. It's a waste of time, money, and resources. But hey, at least our representatives get to feel important for a day or two.
Diagnosis: Congressional Narcissism Disorder (CND). Symptoms include an excessive need for self-aggrandizement, a lack of concern for actual governance, and a tendency to prioritize appearances over substance. Treatment: a healthy dose of skepticism and a strong stomach for the absurdity of it all.
