| Jun 13 at 22:07 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | Again, I hear what you're saying. Can you point me to what Senate rules apply for this type of voting? I was looking in the section titled Voting Procedures, but this would hardly be the first time that applicable rules are spread out in a non-intuitive way. | |
| Jun 13 at 21:20 | comment | added | Joe W | @Pyrotechnical you are quoting a specific rule for a specific type of voting and there are several different ways that they can vote on something. | |
| Jun 13 at 21:07 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | That's fine, but can you point me to what Senate rules apply for the current voting scheme? If the answer is that the Senate's written rules don't actually sync up with the rules they actually use that's fine. I'm just seeing a disconnect right now and not understanding. | |
| Jun 13 at 21:06 | comment | added | Joe W | @Pyrotechnical You are talking about a single method of voting that isn't used that often and they mostly vote by electronic vote or voice vote. | |
| Jun 13 at 20:58 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | I'm not sure you've really answered my second question. I understand the goal was to end the filibuster, but I'm trying to figure out how it's a benefit to be able to reintroduce the legislation later if the restriction is that it must occur within 2 session days. Is there some weird way 'session days' is defined that makes this a huge boon? | |
| Jun 13 at 20:56 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | I've added a quote of relevant parts of the voting rules, they don't seem to allow for changing ones vote without unanimous consent (which I doubt anyone would get). Can you expand this answer to clarify what part of the Senate's rules allow for someone to change their vote as much as they want? | |
