Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4016) making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3633) to provide for a system of regulation of the offer and sale of digital commodities by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1919) to amend the Federal Reserve Act to prohibit the Federal reserve banks from offering certain products or services directly to an individual, to prohibit the use of central bank digital currency for monetary policy, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (S. 1582) to provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes; and waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules.
Summary
H.Res. 580 is a procedural resolution that the House has passed to establish the rules for considering four separate pieces of legislation. This type of resolution does not itself become law but rather sets the framework for how Congress will debate and vote on the actual bills.
The resolution would allow the House to consider four bills: a defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026 that funds the Department of Defense; legislation to regulate digital commodities through the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission; a bill to limit the Federal Reserve's ability to offer certain products directly to individuals and restrict central bank digital currency use; and a Senate bill regulating payment stablecoins. These bills address major policy areas including national defense spending, financial regulation, and cryptocurrency oversight.
Now that H.Res. 580 has passed the House, it must be approved by the Senate before these four bills can proceed through their normal consideration process. The resolution also includes a waiver of certain House procedural requirements to expedite the process. For everyday citizens, this means the House is preparing to debate and vote on significant legislation affecting defense budgets, financial markets, and digital currency regulation, though the actual impact would depend on whether the underlying bills ultimately pass both chambers and are signed into law.

On Motion to Reconsider
On July 16, 2025, the House voted on a motion to reconsider H.Res. 580, a special rule that sets the terms for floor consideration of five separate bills: H.R. 4016 (Department of Defense appropriations for fiscal year 2026), H.R. 3633 (digital commodities regulation by the SEC and CFTC), H.R. 1919 (Federal Reserve Act amendments restricting central bank digital currency), S. 1582 (payment stablecoin regulation), and a waiver of certain Rules Committee procedures. The motion to reconsider passed 215-211, with all Republicans voting yes and all Democrats voting no. A motion to reconsider allows the House to revisit a previously taken procedural vote. This particular motion concerned the special rule governing how these five bills would be debated and amended on the House floor. By voting to reconsider, the House reopened the question of whether to adopt the rule under the terms originally proposed by the Rules Committee. This was a strictly partisan vote with no bipartisan support. The outcome enables the House to reconsider the procedural framework for these bills rather than proceeding under the original rule. The vote itself does not determine whether any of the underlying bills will pass, only whether the House will revisit the procedural terms for their consideration.
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 4016 and H.R. 3633 under a structured rule, and H.R. 1919 and S. 1582 under a closed rule, with one hour of general debate on each bill. The resolution provides for a motion to recommit on H.R. 4016, H.R. 3633, and H.R. 1919, and a motion to commit on S. 1582.

On Ordering the Previous Question
The House voted 211-210 to adopt H.Res. 580, a special rule governing floor consideration of five separate bills: H.R. 4016 (Department of Defense appropriations for fiscal year 2026), H.R. 3633 (digital commodities regulation by the SEC and CFTC), H.R. 1919 (Federal Reserve Act amendments restricting central bank digital currency), S. 1582 (payment stablecoin regulation), and a waiver of certain Rules Committee procedures. This was a procedural vote establishing the terms under which these bills may be debated and amended on the House floor. Adopting the rule does not constitute votes on any of the underlying bills themselves. Instead, it permits the House to proceed with floor consideration of these measures under the debate structure and amendment parameters set by the Rules Committee. Rejection of the rule would have prevented these bills from being brought to the floor under the proposed terms. The vote was strictly partisan, with all 211 Republicans voting yes and all 210 Democrats voting no. This reflects typical party-line divisions on procedural rules. With the rule adopted, the House may now begin debate and consideration of the five bills covered by this resolution.
