they have a Committee (Rules Committee) that works out all the processes needed for how members will handle that legislation before finally voting on it - whether Amendments can be added, how long the debate will be on those, how long (number of hours) the final debate will be, etc.

So once that set of "Rules" are voted out of the Rules Committee, those Rules need to be approved by Congress FIRST, before they move on. Congress (the GOP since they are in the majority) just approved the Rules.
