On the recordMay 24, 2010
Mr. President, I won't discuss any further the amendment I am going to call up. It was offered by Senator McCaskill and me 2 or 3 weeks ago. We reached as high as 59 votes for it, one short of passage. It is an amendment that would put a statutory limit on spending, making it more difficult to violate the limits we put by requiring a two-thirds vote to break that limit except in time of war and emergency. I ask at this time to call up amendment No. 4173. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Does the Senator wish to set aside the pending amendment?
