What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a rule used to object to a bill, to prevent the consideration of legislation that reduces earned retirement benefits for Federal employees or retirees.
It specifies that it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would reduce these benefits.
The rule can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate.
An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate is also required to sustain an appeal of a ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
