Title: Nomination of Robert Lighthizer to be a United States Trade Representative
Vote Result
Yea Votes
Nay Votes
Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a confirmation of President Donald Trump's nomination of Robert Lighthizer to be a United States Trade Representative.
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.
