Vice President Vance told Newsmax he can take the Senate chair and overrule the parliamentarian on the SAVE America Act. He asked whether 50 senators would back him. They already have. 50 senators are on the record for the House-passed bill, and Susan Collins is one of them. Senator...

🇺🇸 THE MYSTERIOUS FILIBUSTER! - As much as we talk about the filibuster, few people actually understand it. Under filibuster rules you don't need 60 votes to pass legislation. You need 60 votes to get to cloture, which means you can then vote on the legislation. Right now with the SAVE America Act we have 51 votes. We have enough votes to pass the legislation but we can't get to cloture because we can't get enough Democrats to cross the aisle to get to 60 votes. Of course Democrats don't want election integrity. We talk about the nuclear option, thinking that this means the Senate will vote to end the filibuster rule. That's not what it means. Actually achieving cloture to vote to end the filibuster rule would require a two-thirds Senate vote. And that's impossible. What is possible is when you bring up the SAVE America Act for a cloture vote and you only get 51 out of the 60 required, a senator can then raise a point of order saying that "cloture on this bill should only need a simple majority." The chair would rule against him, backed up by the parliamentarian. That senator can then appeal and the question becomes, "shall the decision of the chair stand?" The Senate then votes on that appeal and if 51 senators vote to overrule the chair then the vote on the SAVE America Act can take place. Yes this is a tortured way of doing things but that's "the nuclear option." Harry Reid did it in 2013 on federal judges and Mitch McConnell did it in 2017 on Supreme Court judges. But again the problem we have now is: do we have enough Senators to get to 51 to do the nuclear option? According to John Thune we don't. Thoughts? ⬇️

All 100 U.S. Senators have approved the Epstein bill through unanimous consent. As CNN’s Manu Raju explained, this wasn’t a normal vote. It was a procedural green light, eliminating delays and skipping a formal roll-call entirely. Raju broke down in detail what comes next: “But now it is on its way to the president’s desk in a remarkable turnaround, in an extremely fast move here, the senate has essentially greenlighted this bill to be approved as soon as tonight and be sent to the president’s desk.” “Now, essentially, what happened was that in the aftermath of this house vote this afternoon, 427 to 1, just one member of the entire United States house voting against it, this is now on its way to the Senate.” “Now, there has not been a formal process that would be formally sent over to the United States Senate. That process would take some time to get through the official writing of…getting the bill over across the capitol.” “It’s an arcane process, but once it gets over to the United States Senate, that’s when the bill can be read in the senate and officially essentially passed.” “So what we just saw moments ago was Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, he went to the floor of the United States Senate, and he said…he asked for what’s known in the Senate as unanimous consent.” “That means that all 100 Senators have to agree, or one Senator could object and slow things down. He asked unanimous consent that for when the Senate receives the final paperwork of the bill that just passed the United States House, that it would be approved by the United States Senate.” “Nobody objected to that, Jake. So what that means is that as soon as it formally transmitted, this bill is formally transmitted from the House to the Senate, the Senate will essentially have it approved.” “It will be approved in their chamber. There does not need to be a roll call vote, and then it will go to the president’s desk for his signature, in which the president has indicated that he will sign.”
