On the Motion to Discharge
The Senate rejected a mixed motion to discharge a resolution disapproving of a military sale to Israel, leaving the measure in committee.
The Senate rejected a motion to discharge the Committee on Foreign Relations from further consideration of a joint resolution regarding a proposed foreign military sale to Israel. The procedural move, which sought to force the measure onto the floor for debate, failed on a mixed vote. Following the rejection of this motion, the resolution remains in committee.
The rejection of the motion to discharge means the joint resolution remains in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations rather than moving to the floor for a full vote. Because the motion failed on a mixed vote, the committee is not required to release the measure, and the resolution's current stage remains in committee. Further action on the proposed disapproval of the military sale would require a new procedural step or committee approval.
