Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process
Rules in the House of Representatives typically limit the time allowed for floor speeches and require debate to be germane to pending business. A series of unanimous consent practices have evolved that permit Members to address the House for specified durations and at specified times on subjects of their own choosing, outside the consideration of legislative business. The principal forms of such non-legislative debate are special order speeches, oneminute speeches, and morning hour debate.
