Amendment - Cloture Not Invoked (Senate) (40-59) - June 14, 2011 (Key vote)
Title: Repeals the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax
Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on an amendment to S 782 that repeals the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit.
NOTE: INVOKING CLOTURE REQUIRES A 3/5 MAJORITY OF THE SENATE. IT IS NOT A VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT LIMITS FURTHER DEBATE TO 30 HOURS. CLOTURE IS TYPICALLY USED TO END A FILIBUSTER. A FAILED CLOTURE VOTE OFTEN PREVENTS THE LEGISLATION FROM EVER COMING TO A VOTE.
Amendment - Introduced (Senate) - June 9, 2011
Title: Repeals the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax
