Senate Floor Privileges: History and Current Practice
Senate Standing Rule XXIII, Privilege of the Floor, designates those afforded access to the
Senate floor while the Senate is in session. In addition to sitting Senators, the rule lists several
eligible positions, including certain current and former congressional, executive, and judicial
officials; state and territorial governors; the mayor of the District of Columbia; members of
foreign national legislatures; the nation’s highest ranking military leaders; and, under specified
circumstances, congressional staff members assisting Senators on the floor.
Over its history, the Senate has amended the floor privilege rule to add or clarify positional categories. The Senate has also agreed to a number of resolutions and unanimous consent (UC) agreements that affect the interpretation of the rule. The Senate, by resolution or UC, frequently provides temporary floor access to non-designated individuals. Less commonly, it has agreed to temporarily restrict access to the Senate floor. Such restrictions have occurred in advance of the Senate’s move to its current chamber in 1859 and during the impeachment trials of Presidents Andrew Johnson (1868), Bill Clinton (1999), and Donald Trump (2020). In 2007, the Senate amended Rule XXIII to exclude lobbyists from the floor, even if these individuals would otherwise be granted floor privileges under the rule.
Rule XXIII permits certain staff members of individual Senators and Senate committees and joint committees to have access
to the floor “when in the discharge of their official duties.” Staff access is further regulated by policies outlined in a recurring UC agreement approved at the start of each Congress, as well as those policies established by the Senate Rules and
Administration Committee. For instance, each Senator is limited to two staff members on the floor at the same time. The
Office of the Sergeant at Arms (SAA) enforces Senate Rule XXIII, as well as any associated resolutions or UC agreements,
regarding floor access.
This report analyzes the evolution of the floor privileges rule over time. Notable changes to the rule or its interpretation are provided, such as the first time a female staff member accessed the Senate floor (1946); when the Senate agreed to resolutions to accommodate staff with disabilities (e.g., allow the use of a service dog in the chamber, 1997); and when it permitted Senators, accompanied by their infant children, to vote on the Senate floor (2018).
The report also addresses how staff members are granted floor privileges and how that access is limited by Rule XXIII and its associated regulations. Access via the SAA’s web portal, TranSAAct, is discussed, as well as the use of unanimous consent requests to afford access to individuals not listed in TranSAAct or to enable more than two staff members from the same Senate office on the floor at one time.
Bingo!
Wonderful.
A country of 340 million people, and we can’t find two Americans by birth for 100 jobs...
unless appointed by the Gov. which surely is the plan.
The house can still refuse to seat elected reps, iirc. If Gingrich's best case comes true and Rs win all the toss-ups it could be 57-43 in the Senate--nearly enough to refuse to seat MRS. Fetterman who has no legitimate business sitting in the US Senate.
“....and I want to sniff your hair.”
She’s apparently going to do his last three weeks of campaigning for him. How is this even legal?
Then she would be the Senator, and he would not be allowed on the Floor.
Note that this is only when the Senate is in actual session, not on the first day of a new Congress when family is all over the place and swearing in ceremonies are taking place............
I hope Newt is right.
She’s a Marxist - and hope’s that when Fetterman dies, she’ll be appointed to his seat.
Someone called this earlier that if Feterman was to get elected, that his wife would quickly replace him.
Oh, yes...the swearing-in thing, where Biden grabs all the pretty little girls for some fun frotteuring.
Like I’ve always said, this is a bait n switch. Get big John elected, he resigns due to heal issues, and his Marxist wife is selected by the PA to replace him.
I learned a new urban dictionary word.
She looks like one of those wise Latinas who aren’t as wise as they used to be once they move to America. It’s the competition, I think.
President Ding Dong doesn’t even know what planet he’s on
That woman has to be mentally ill to allow that disgusting and nasty creep touch her in any way.
Fetterman is “arm candy”? Perhaps I need new glasses.
Wouldn’t this prove (somewhat) that he still has a small
mind yet to lose? Perhaps we might find 15 percent still
there.
It’s really doubtful SloJo has the ability to pronounce
the name of Fetterman’s wife, let alone remember it.
(Gisele) (FRA-GIL-E)
Nope.. Hillary has been quiet lately though and it’s not unusual for the wife to replace a dead male senator...
