What this amendment would do
As your legislative analyst, let's break down what Senator Cortez Masto is trying to do with this amendment, labeled SA 1581. The main purpose of this amendment is to add a new rule to the Senate—known as a point of order—that would stop the Senate from considering any legislation, resolution, motion, or amendment that provides funding to deport children who are United States citizens.
If someone in the Senate wants to bypass this rule and allow a measure that funds the deportation of U.S. citizen children to go forward anyway, it would take a three-fifths vote of the members chosen and sworn to waive or suspend the rule. It would also take that same three-fifths vote to successfully appeal a ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
