The Senate convened today to take care of Motion to Proceed to H.J. Res. 98 (Relating to the disapproval of the President’s exercise of authority to increase the debt limit). The motion was not agreed to by vote of 44-52 today. The legislative calendar number for H.J. Res. 98 is 294, while the legislative calendar number for H.R. 3012 is 293. Sometimes a bill is passed in the Senate by unaimous consent without vote if both sides of aisle agree to the bill. No one can however imagine such scenario at this point. The Senate floor monitor indicates that no motion to proceed for H.R. 3012, General Calendar 293, has thus far been presented on the floor. Senate’s session will continue until 5:00 p.m. (est) during when Senators are permitted to speak up to 10 minutes each without any votes, and curretly each Seantor is speaking about the issues they currently have passion for.
