Answer:

Discharge petition.

Explanation:

Discharge petition. A device by which any member of the House, after a committee has had a bill for thirty days, may ask to have it brought to the floor. If a majority of the members agree, the bill will leave the committee. This was designed to prevent a committee from killing a bill by holding it for too long.

motion with the signatures of 218 Members is necessary to dislodge a measure from committee, making it possible for the bill to reach the floor.

The definition of a petition is a formal written request to a superior by a number of people for a specific purpose. An example of a petition is someone gathering signatures to submit to voting authorities to put a measure on a ballot.
