Foreign policy often gets ignored in the Senate, largely because only a small subset of the Senate is actually interested in these issues.  I view the SCNS as a way to create interest in foreign affairs, by sending bills to be debated in committee before taking the one slot designated for foreign affairs.  It will also give us a chance to hammer out issues impeding passage of legislation so that, once on the floor of the full Senate, a bill takes up less time.

I probably missed something, but this is basically why we should pass this.

I don't speak for the DoEA anymore, but it makes sense and should lead to the creation of more and better foreign policy bills.

Would the committee hold an up-or-down vote on legislation for it to reach the Senate, or would they be taken up by the Senate, regardless?

I haven't considered that.  I would prefer we send a bill no matter what, but with a recommendation, like with confirmations.

I agree, the Senate in this game has to little legislation for bills to be "killed in committee".

I'll be fully on-board with this so long as there's a provision in there to ensure bills cannot be killed in committee - just to rule out any potential for that. All around, it sounds like a great idea to me. *nods*

I agree that legislation should not be killed in committee, but I'm concerned that committees may try to stall legislation to prevent them from going to the Senate.

I am proposing this amendment-
