CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 234

119th Congress · Session 2 · September 15, 2026

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-HR-3633 — Digital Asset Market Clarity Act

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for the offer and sale of digital commodities, digital assets, and stablecoins through the SEC and CFTC. It provides specific definitions for blockchain technology and market participants while creating processes for blockchain systems to be certified as "mature." The legislation addresses the rights of individuals to maintain self-custody of digital assets and provides legal protections for software developers.

The Senate recorded this as
On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed H.R. 3633
To provide for a system of regulation of the offer and sale of digital commodities by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to amend the Federal Reserve Act to prohibit the Federal reserve banks from offering certain products or services directly to an individual, to prohibit the use of central bank digital currency for monetary policy, and for other purposes.
