They didn’t vote on the CCB bill. They voted to table it. There has been no vote on the bill.
That's right.
My understanding is that the votes may have been there in the Senate. Which is precisely why Reid tabled it -- a vote was dangerous, and so a vote was not allowed.
The vote was to table the discussion, as lonevoice points out.
Once an amendment to the Constitution is proposed and passes one house, it is forever a potential amendment subject to a vote. It’s never dismissed.
Look up “Article the First” concerning the allocation of Representatives to the House. It was actually the first amendment proposed but failed by one state vote to be ratified. It’s still out there and could be voted on tomorrow if someone brought it to the floor.
They passed a Congressional pay amendment (#27, I believe) a few years ago that was on the books for over 200 years.
