On the Motion to Proceed
On the Motion to Proceed
The Senate rejected a motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 187 on a party-line vote, preventing the measure from reaching the floor.
The Senate rejected a motion to proceed to the consideration of S.J.Res. 187, a joint resolution concerning the disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency rule. The procedural vote failed on a party-line basis, preventing the measure from being taken up for debate on the floor. The resolution had been placed on the legislative calendar just days earlier after the Committee on Environment and Public Works was discharged from further consideration of the matter.
The rejection of the motion to proceed on a party-line vote prevents the Senate from beginning formal consideration of the joint resolution. As the chamber did not agree to take up the measure, the resolution remains on the legislative calendar without advancing to debate or a vote on its merits.
