Madam President, I am told there is a bill, S. 1420, due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill by title for the second time. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 1420) to require that the United States Government prioritize all obligations on the debt held by the public, Social Security benefits, and military pay in the event that the debt limit is reached, and for other purposes.
