Could the Senate please vote on the following act:

All homosexual couples will be granted the right to join in a civil union, entailing all the rights of marriage excluding adoption rights.

Vote either aye, noe or you can abstain.

I am considering proposing an amendment that removes the adoption clause.

I am unsure if it would pass with that, that is why I included the clause, I want this to be a stepping stone towards equality.

I'm an idiot.

The amendment, and therefore the bill, is passed I believe.

Needs a two thirds majority doesn't it? That is 7 votes.

No, it's not a constitutional amendment, just an amendment to a bill.

No, I mean the actual bill itself.

Bills only need a majority to pass, only constitutional amendments need 2/3.

And to overturn your vetoes heh.
