04 Jun 2018 The Discharge Petition: Ins and Outs

(snip)

Q: So, how does a discharge petition get adopted?

A: After the petition has been signed by 218 members, it is placed on the discharge calendar and, after being on the calendar for seven legislative days, the motion to discharge can be offered by any signer on the second or fourth Monday of the month. If the motion to discharge receives a majority vote, the House proceeds immediately to consider either the special rule or bill involved. In the case of a special rule, the House proceeds immediately to vote on it, and, if adopted, the House then proceeds to consider the bill under the terms of the special rule (which usually specified the amount of general debate time and type of amendment process).

(snip)

I think they submitted for the calendar, but of course MAGA Mike went into recess until January 6, 2026 (first Tuesday of the month). So I think technically, they could formally do the motion the following Tuesday (which would be the 2nd Tuesday of the month).
