I grabbed this from another post by @Eagle and added some more I saw online.
If this was all agreed too I am very happy with result of the speaker vote even if the method seemed silly.
1. Only one House member needed to file a motion to “vacate the chair”
2. Freedom Caucus members having a few seats on the House Rules Committee that will allow those members to leverage certain criteria behind voting for bills.
3. Voting on a bill setting term limits for members of Congress
4. Individual votes on each of the 12 appropriations bills and excluding earmarks from such bills
5. A vote on legislation surrounding border security
6. 72-hour notice from release of legislation before voting on it
7. A vote on a balanced budget amendment
8. A cap on fiscal year 2024 spending at FY 2022 levels.
9. Reject any negotiations on spending with the Senate until the Senate passes its own spending bills.
10. Not to increase the debt limit without spending cuts or other fiscal reforms
11. To set up a committee to examine the weaponization of government against U.S. citizens
This article seems to give some more depth to it as well. I think all 11 of the above are excellent and worth the shit show. If they follow through they will at least be attempting some good things.
