What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let us break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. This text is SA 375, submitted by Ms. Cortez Masto regarding the congressional budget for the United States Government.

Purpose and Changes

  • The purpose of this amendment is to add a new point of order in the Senate.
  • It aims to stop the Senate from considering any legislation, resolution, motion, amendment, or conference report that provides funding for the deportation of children who are United States citizens.
  • To bypass this rule and allow such funding legislation to be considered, it would take a three-fifths affirmative vote of the Senators chosen and sworn.
  • Overruling the Chair on this specific point of order also requires that same three-fifths affirmative vote.
