This article lays it out, but in sum, the Senate deliberation today (Friday 3/5) over unemployment benefits in the relief bill was conducted by stalling the close of an amendment vote so Democrats had time to ensure how senators (Joe Manchin) would vote on upcoming amendments on this issue. The article states the vote was "a record 11 hours and 50 minutes." Very cool application of procedure to achieve objectives.
This blog serves my Congress course (Claremont McKenna College Government 101) for the spring of 2024.
