CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 352

119th Congress · Session 1 · June 30, 2025

A vote to set aside an objection that the measure breaks a budget rule

A senator objected that the measure spends or cuts more than the budget allows. Sixty votes set that objection aside; fewer, and the measure is stopped by the objection without a vote on what it would do.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-2772 — To prohibit the use of Defense Production Act of 1950 funds without the approval of Congress.

SA 2772, proposed by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Welch, aims to replace section 30004 of the bill.

Restrict the use of these funds by stating that no money may be obligated or spent for financing under the Defense Production Act of 1950 unless a joint resolution approving that financing is enacted into law.
