What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule that prevents certain actions, to the congressional budget resolution. It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, resolution, motion, or amendment that decreases corporate tax revenue during the current fiscal year and the following nine fiscal years. If a rule is violated, the Senate could only move forward by a vote of three-fifths of its members. This three-fifths vote would also be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair, who is the presiding officer of the Senate.
