Censure from CSPAN c-span.org Censure Resolution · A resolution censuring the President is not contemplated by the rules of the House. This means it has no inherent privilege; it is not a question of the privileges of the House, nor is it a matter of personal privilege. Thus, there is no framework for considering it. · A special rule from the House Rules Committee would be required for its floor consideration and to set debate parameters. · A censure resolution could be drafted, considered, and then reported from the House Judiciary Committee, or · A censure resolution could be introduced and taken up immediately under the auspices of a special rule from the House Rules Committee, or · A censure resolution could be introduced by an individual Member, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee for its consideration. · In the Senate, a censure resolution could be introduced and would be referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, or · The Senate Judiciary Committee could draft, consider and report out a censure resolution to the full Senate; or · A unanimous consent agreement could be worked out in advance to introduce a censure resolution by sending it to the desk and providing for its immediate consideration. · Floor debate and possible amendment of a censure resolution would most likely be governed by a unanimous consent agreement among all Senators. · If there is a single objection to a unanimous consent agreement, the Majority Leader could move to proceed to a censure resolution. · Adoption of a motion to proceed requires a majority vote, unless it is filibustered. In that case, a 3/5ths vote (60 or more) is required to end the filibuster.
