The House of Representatives finds that the Senate's current filibuster rules are contrary to the constitutional design of two co-equal majoritarian legislative bodies, are non-deliberative in practice, disenfranchise Members of the House of Representatives and their constituents, and disrupt the proper balance of powers between the two chambers of Congress. The resolution argues that the Senate filibuster prevents legislation passed by the House from receiving proper consideration in the Senate, subverting the bicameral design of Article I of the Constitution.
