EXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>One of the nine House Republicans running for speaker is out with a list of five commitments he is calling on his fellow contenders for the gavel to commit to.<\/p>\n

Republican Policy Committee Chair Gary Palmer, R-Ala., released the policy outline less than an hour before House GOP lawmakers are retreating behind closed doors to hear from the speaker candidates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That includes a commitment to fund the government with 12 individual spending bills by June 30; forcing \u2018real spending cuts\u2019 and not \u2018budget gimmicks;\u2019 refusing to pass any more short-term stopgap funding bills; giving members 72 hours to read a bill before it hits the House floor; and, perhaps most critically \u2013 making sure the GOP conference is on the same page before holding a House-wide vote.<\/p>\n

\u2018Congress has been kicking the can down the road since before I was elected. We don\u2019t need a person or a personality, we need a plan,\u2019 Palmer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The American people deserve a Republican Conference that is unified, transparent, and committed to the job. Before we vote tomorrow, every candidate should commit to these principles.\u2019<\/p>\n

On spending, Palmer is calling for specific deadlines he believes will help keep government open and funded without leaning on continuing resolutions or omnibus spending bills \u2013 both of which have wide opposition in the GOP.<\/p>\n

Under Palmer\u2019s plan, the House could not bring any legislation sent from the Senate after July 30 if all 12 appropriations bills have not been passed by then. It would also stop the House from recessing after July 31 if the 12 individual spending bills have not been passed \u2013 with a possible override for national security reasons via a two-thirds vote of the House.<\/p>\n

It comes after ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was ousted from his role soon after passing a 45-day continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown. The fiscal year ended on Sept. 30 with just four of 12 bills passed.<\/p>\n

CHAOTIC, CONVOLUTED PATH HOUSE REPUBLICANS TOOK TO ELECT SPEAKER LEADS BACK TO SQUARE ONE<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also called to \u2018decentralize the legislative process and prioritize individual members\u2019 policy priorities\u2019 in uniting the conference before a House-wide vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That point holds particular importance now as House Republican candidate for speaker struggle to get enough support to win a House-wide vote with no Democratic support.<\/p>\n

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, failed three House votes for speaker after becoming Republicans\u2019 speaker-designate, not reaching the 217 votes necessary in any of the rounds. He was booted out of the race on Friday.<\/p>\n
