The correct way to deal with this is simple;  if a motion for a final vote is presented and other amdendments are presented afterward, once the motion for vote has been on the floor for a certain period of time (say, a week) the person making a final vote can call for a vote on whether or not to move the final vote ahead of the proposed amendments; if the side in favor succeeds then final vote is immediate. This way any amendments proposed before the final vote motion is made still can get guaranteed consideration but you also just can’t block bills forever.

In fact, you can even allow amendments proposed, say, in the 48 hours after the final vote motion to get guaranteed consideration as well, so long as you can’t keep proposing things forever.

If the rules are already like that then I don’t see why this is needed. Ofc the current senate rules are the government metagame document I’ve touched the least and know the least about, so not exactly sure if that’s clearly there or not. But in any case, that’s how it should be resolved; not by giving the PPT such rights to give amendments here.

The hell are people voting Aye on? I thought everyone came to an agreement that the rules don't need changing.
