Previous question

House motion to end debate and bring the pending question (usually a special rule) to immediate vote. Almost always passes on a party-line vote — defeats are vanishingly rare since 1988.

Special rule

A House Rules Committee resolution setting the terms of debate for a bill — open vs. closed, amendments allowed, time limits. Voting on the rule is voting on the framework, not the bill itself, but they are tightly correlated.
