SENATE RESOLUTION: J.K. Sestak Congressional Reform Resolution (Passed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am going to go ahead and call 24 hours on objections.

That said, I need to make note that I need to restructure the outer box format because constitutionally speaking, our vote can only be applied to Section 2.

I did this once before, with the whole Amendment explanation resolution, that combined rules changes for both chambers but were boxed separately and vote applied accordingly.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The amendment is adopted.
