moose65 (2,999 posts)3 simple questions (I hope)And I haven't seen an answer to this anywhere:Is the current debt ceiling bill that the House already passed subject to the 60-vote cloture rule in the Senate? I thought that bills that impacted the budget (which this does) were not subject to the filibuster.Related: are amendments to the bill subject to the 60-vote cloture rule in the Senate?And finally: once a cloture vote passes, are Senate bills then passed with a simple majority?https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217962333
