What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new section to the concurrent resolution to prevent the funding of the detention of children at the United States Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
It establishes a point of order, which is a rule used to signal that a proposed action violates a specific requirement, against any bill, motion, or report that funds this detention.
The amendment states that any attempt to waive or suspend this rule in the Senate can only be done with an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members who are duly chosen and sworn.
Additionally, a three-fifths vote of the Senate members is required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair, meaning the presiding officer, regarding a point of order raised by this rule.
