What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English.

The amendment was submitted by Ms. WARREN (along with several other senators) to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal year 2025 budget.

  • Its main purpose is to create a new Point of Order in the Senate.
  • It aims to stop Congress from passing any spending through reconciliation legislation until every Inspector General who was terminated is put back on the job (reinstated).
  • If someone wants to bypass this rule, it would take a large three-fifths vote of the Senators to waive it or to win an appeal against the Chair's ruling.
