The amendment is as follows: At the end, add the following new section: SEC. __. This title shall become effective 5 days after enactment. Cloture Motion

More from Harry Reid
The Republican Party that we now have is not the Republican Party of John Chafee, Mark Hatfield, those people who were really stalwarts in moving the country forward.
You cannot have a democracy that record 60 percent of the vote on everything. And that’s what the Republicans have done. They have made a mockery of what the Senate should be.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
