Mr. President, I reserve the right to object. I am so not going to object. I just wanted to thank you and thank everybody. I think this is a moment all of us have waited for, for a long time, so I am not objecting. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I wish to announce to everybody there will be up to five votes, and on those five votes we will have 10- minute rollcall votes. We intend to enforce the 10 minutes, so it would be a good idea for everybody to stay close to the Chamber. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
