By a vote of four Ayes, one Nay, and one Abstention, the motion for cloture was not approved by two thirds of the total body of sitting senators* and has therefore FAILED.

*Yeah, I know, it's weird. Technically, though, the Rules define a two thirds majority as "two thirds of the sitting senators" rather than "two thirds of the voting senators." This is why it's almost always better to wait until debate has died before calling for a final vote.

The chair notes the motion to table and reminds the Senate that two seconders are required to advance the motion.
