What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, to the concurrent resolution.

  • It would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that provides for spending through reconciliation legislation until each terminated Inspector General is reinstated.

  • This rule could only be bypassed or suspended if three-fifths of the Senate members vote in favor of doing so.

  • An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members would also be required to uphold an appeal regarding a ruling made by the Chair on this point of order.
