What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a piece of legislation, to the existing resolution.
It would prohibit the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that derives savings from a reduction in force, meaning the dismissal of employees, that could facilitate conflicts of interest or self-dealing for individuals with official or unofficial roles in the executive branch.
This rule can only be waived or suspended by a vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate.
An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members of the Senate would also be required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair, which is the presiding officer of the Senate, regarding this point of order.
