Waiting for a floor vote in the other chamber

Passed one chamber and is on the other chamber's calendar.

The calendar is a queue, not a date. The majority leadership decides what comes to the floor and when; much of what is placed on it is never called, and a bill that is never called simply expires with the Congress.
