I think the most efficient course is simply to allow my second-degree amendment, allowing Members to vote essentially on my amendment first, then voice vote the amendment of the Senator from Oklahoma--if it succeeds, then the underlying amendment. That was my preference.

President Trump’s effort to turn the U.S. military into an investor in Venezuelan oil is a blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.
His administration removed Nicolás Maduro from power, threw its weight behind the unelected leadership that replaced Maduro, and is now attempting to use U.S. military assets and taxpayer-backed financing to boost a private oil venture.
It is far past time for President Trump to recognize the lasting harm that Pete Hegseth is inflicting on the Department of Defense.
The President has waged this war without public support or congressional consent, and it is far past time for accountability.
