Anyone have a problem with using UC to bring this to a vote quicker?

would rebuilding destroyed infrastructure fit into clause 1 or clause 2?



Probably clause 2. When I think of relief, I often consider that to be food, medicine, medical care, temporary housing etc etc to keep people alive and healthy whereas rebuilding is long term getting the bridges, roads, highways, railroads back up and running.

Well since this is emergency legislation, I don't think BK will mind if I declare the amendment passed.



Likewise I don't think he would mind if I second the motion for UC (it doesn't need a second but it needs to be done by a presiding officer, so having the Dean second it might suffice) and call 24 hours to object to final vote being opened on this bill.

UC doesn't skip a final vote, Snowguy. It's like a trolley to get you to it quicker.



A Final Vote is now open on this bill, Senators please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Though that would be an interesting preposal for a future OSPR amendment. But I figured it best to start out slowly with UC and see out it worked on avoiding cloture votes and waiving mandatory debate requirements first.

Some might have a problem with not holding votes on bills though.

Final vote on the Natural Disaster Relief Act:


Aye (7): AHDuke99, bgwah, BRTD, Fuzzybigfoot, Jbrase, Napoleon, and NC Yankee
Nay (0):
Abstain (0):

Didn't Vote (2): Officepark and Snowguy716


With seven ayes and no nays, the bill is passed unanimously. The bill is thus presented to the President for his signature or veto.
