James Lankford (R-Okla.). Sixty votes were needed for it to be attached to the three-bill government spending package, also known as a \u201cminibus,\u201d that is currently under consideration.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Every Senate Republican but one \u2014 Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) \u2014 voted for the amendment, as did Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Angus King (I-Maine), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All other Senate Democrats lined up against it. Sens. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) did not vote.<\/p>\n<p>Lankford\u2019s amendment would have required lawmakers to strike future government funding agreements without threat of a shutdown and for them to work on nothing else before the chamber until a deal is struck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the government would continue to run at the previous funding levels, essentially creating a continuing resolution for the time being. Lankford also responded to calls that the bill is unrealistic due to efforts across the Capitol by House Republicans to shut down the government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Congress gets to the end of the fiscal year and the appropriations work is not done by the end of the year, we stay in session seven days a week, we can\u2019t move to any other bill other than appropriations until we actually finish appropriations,\u201d Lankford said in the floor ahead of the vote. \u201cIf I can make it just this simple: If we don\u2019t finish our classwork, we have to stay after class.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve heard from some folks that this won\u2019t work because the House is crazy and they won\u2019t care about staying here seven days a week because they\u2019re crazy,\u201d Lankford said to some who have called the idea unrealistic. \u201cHouse members, though definitely crazy at times, still love their families \u2026 They\u2019re not going to want to stay here seven days a week forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) argued that the amendment would make work to fund the government \u201cway harder\u201d and allow members who have a proclivity for obstructing government spending efforts \u201cto ignore their responsibility\u201d and block new appropriations bills.<\/p>\n<p>Lankford\u2019s proposal came up in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> last month as Sen.

Fifteen more amendments are expected to be considered before the upper chamber votes on final passage, which is likely next week.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
