## Key points

- House Republicans plan procedural challenges to Democratic bills.
- Emmer says Democrats may be divided over their agenda.
- Amendments and motions could put legislation under pressure.

## Summary

House Republicans say they plan to use hearings, amendments and procedural votes to challenge the incoming Democratic majority and draw attention to divisions within the party. Incoming minority whip Tom Emmer says Republicans will hold Democrats accountable for their priorities, while arguing that Democrats may struggle to agree among themselves.

Republicans cited amendment votes and the motion to recommit as ways to put Democratic legislation under pressure. Rep. Mark Harris said some colleagues want to “go on offense”, while Rep. Nick LaLota noted that bills would also need President Donald Trump’s signature and, in many cases, 60 votes in the Senate. The article also mentions privileged resolutions, which can force a House vote within two days, but its supplied text ends before explaining their planned use.
