Analysis

The Senate rejected a procedural motion to waive all applicable budgetary points of order regarding an amendment to the pending business. The motion failed to reach the required three-fifths threshold on a party-line vote. Because the motion was not agreed to, the budgetary restrictions remained in place for the consideration of the amendment.

Implications

The motion to waive budgetary points of order for the Merkley amendment was rejected on a party-line vote, as it failed to reach the required three-fifths threshold.
