The vote coming up is on the Motion to Proceed with Debate. If it passes, they have 20 hours to debate........something

because no one knows what they are planning to debate this point.

Technically, they are voting MTP on the House bill, but then will likely (?) amend it some way? What way? NO ONE KNOWS

(Pretty sure I'm correct that they set a 20 hour clock for themselves. No idea if that's calendar clock or actual debate time clock) -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 11:30 3

- Actual debate time, split between the parties. C-Span has a really good guide to the process and procedure. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jul 25, 11:36
- pfm has a clock. and looks like he wants to use it. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 11:35
