What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for the people, let's look straight at what this paperwork actually does without getting bogged down in Washington jargon. This is about holding our elected officials accountable when it comes to where our military goes and how our tax dollars are spent.

What It Aims to Change

  • Mr. Kaine submitted SA 1782, which adds a new rule in the Senate.

  • The amendment creates a point of order against any legislation that tries to fund United States Armed Forces being deployed to Gaza so the U.S. can assert control over it.

  • To get around this rule and pass such funding anyway, it would take a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn.
