What this amendment would do

MR. WARNER submitted SA 1840, which aims to add a new point of order against considering reconciliation legislation in the Senate.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop the Senate from considering a reconciliation bill, reconciliation resolution, or related amendments and conference reports during any time there is an ongoing violation of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, as determined by the Comptroller General of the United States.

  • This new rule can only be waived or suspended in the Senate by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
  • An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on this point of order.
