The sponsor has 24 hours to commence an advocacy for this and other Senators have 48 hours to respond.

So we have a slight problem here. Pursuit of this bill is subject to GM action by ASV per this debate, a nominee whose confirmation is being rejected on grounds of "reform" being offered, which has not yet passed and is just now about to come to the floor.  


Honestly, these arcane dependency chains are why we have so many bills stuck as it is. So do we table this?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So when it is that might offer an amendment going to become more concrete?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Seeing no objection the amendment is adopted.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A final vote is now open on this legislation, Senators please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

I also would like ot see feedback on ASV's question.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I think ASV has a point to an extent. At the very least the sanctioning could lead to the US being used as a political weapon to distract from domestic actions, and we know how unpopular the US history of meddling in South America writ large is.
