[Cboldt]

Before Frist closed the Senate tonight, he introduced S.2454 - Border Control. He also introduced a cloture motion on the bill. He indicated that the cloture vote will happen on Tuesday Morning, March 28th, unless an agreement is reached to reschedule.

Just to clarify, the cloture motion and cloture vote is NOT on the bill itself, but rather is on a motion to pick up the bill for consideration.

Invoking cloture on a motion to proceed to consideration is not common, but is not unusual. See the February 2006 Senate Thread for a short list of examples.

A motion was entered to close further debate on the motion to proceed to consideration of S. 2454 and, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, a vote on cloture will occur on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.
