The House of Representatives determines the rules of proceedings in the Constitution through the Congressional Proceedings and the Rulemaking Clause.

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 states that each House (i.e Senate and the House of Representatives) may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and expel a member with the Concurrence of two-thirds.
