Jeff Sessions III voted Yea (Cloture Vote) on this Legislation-Joint Resolution.
Read statements Jeff Sessions III made in this general time period.
Title: Federal Marriage Amendment
Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on an amendment to the Constitution to define a marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
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.
