Clustered votes

A situation in the House when recorded votes are demanded on several measures that have been debated under the suspension of the rules procedure. The Speaker or presiding officer announces that any recorded votes requested on the measures will be postponed to a later hour (or even a later day). When the time for the votes arrives, the bills are taken up in sequence without further debate. Members are permitted 15 minutes to vote on the first bill and five minutes to vote on each of the remaining bills.
