What this amendment would do

Ms. Hirono submitted SA 1431 to create a new rule in the Senate.
The amendment aims to add a point of order against legislation that allows for the firing, dismissals, or demotion in rank of military service Judge Advocate Generals (JAGs) without cause or for political reasons.
It means the Senate cannot consider bills, joint resolutions, motions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, or conference reports that allow for this unless specific rules are met.
To waive or suspend this rule, or to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair, it requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
