CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 615

119th Congress · Session 1 · November 10, 2025

A vote to end debate and allow a final vote

In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-3937 — In the nature of a substitute.

SA 3937, proposed by Ms. Collins, is an amendment to bill H.R. 5371. Its purpose is to replace the existing text of the bill with a new structure called the "Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026." This amendment allocates funding and sets operational rules for several government sectors while extending various public programs.
