Senate votes to take up COVID-19 relief bill
By Jordain Carney - 03/04/21 03:25 PM EST



Senate Democrats voted on Thursday to take up a sweeping $1.9 trillion coronavirus bill, teeing off what's expected to be a days-long sprint to pass the legislation.

The Senate voted 50-50 to proceed to the coronavirus relief legislation, with Vice President Harris breaking the tie to advance the bill.

“The Senate is going to move forward with the bill. No matter how long it takes, the Senate is going to stay in session to finish the bill this week,” Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said from the Senate floor on Thursday ahead of the vote.

Thursday's vote comes after a delay on getting the green light from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) ensuring that the Senate's bill, which largely reflects the House measure, complied with reconciliation rules, a budget process that is allowing them to bypass a 60-vote filibuster.

In an expected change, the Senate's version of the coronavirus bill strips out language increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour and lowers the cutoff for receiving stimulus checks to $80,000 for individuals and $160,000 for couples.


A Senate Democratic aide said on Thursday that the bill also provides $510 million for FEMA homeless shelter providers, increases the total amount of Amtrak relief funding by $200 million and places "new guardrails" on the $350 billion for state and local governments.

No Republicans voted to take up the coronavirus bill.

I read up on this last week. One Senator can override the Parliamentarian.

All it took this time was some menacing tweets from Squeaky Spice and Woke Spice to do the trick.

Next time it probably will be...but thanks the example set by House Speaker Beefeaters...errr Pelosi...the House Reps bully the Senate any time they want to.

It's the equivalent of HS Freshmen ordering the Seniors around.

It would be enlightening to know exactly which Senator overruled the Parliamentarian.  A name.

There is no limit to the number of amendments that can be offered.  And each amendment must be read in its entirety before the Senate.  There is no excuse for Republicans allowing this bill to come to a final vote any time before September.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
