This bill would amend the Lacey Act to exclude illegally sourced hardwood timber and their derivative products. It would also repeal parts of the Jones Act that deal with maritime trade and regulations therein.

Doesn’t the VP break the tie?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Doesn’t the VP break the tie?

As long as a quorum is present, then yes, even a 1-1 should as far as I know constitute a tie to be broken by the VP. The two affirmed abstentions (by which I mean they actually posted abstentions instead of not voting) would count towards the quorum.
