Making laws
motion to recommit
The House minority's last shot before final passage: a motion to send the bill back to committee, sometimes with instructions to change it.
In full
By long-standing right, the minority controls one motion immediately before the vote on final passage. A straight motion to recommit sends the bill back to committee and, if adopted, effectively kills it for the day. Historically it could carry instructions that amended the bill on the spot, which made it a tool for forcing the majority onto uncomfortable record votes; the House has narrowed that use in recent Congresses.
