We have no objection to voice voting the first two and then would like to vote, if the leader wants, now on the third, and then we can have the speeches. Mr. McCONNELL. What you are proposing is that we voice vote two, and then the cloture vote occurs automatically? The PRESIDING OFFICER. That is correct. Mr. McCONNELL. Parliamentary inquiry: Does the cloture vote occur-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. Yes. The cloture vote pops and occurs third automatically. Mr. McCONNELL. I propose we voice vote the first two and then pause so that there are some speeches allowed by Members--up to an hour of speeches allowed by Members before the cloture vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.
