About this vote
Cloture is the Senate's way of ending debate, and it takes three-fifths of the senators, normally 60, rather than a simple majority. The act is described as authorizing appropriations for fiscal year 2016 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, and prescribing military personnel strengths for that year. A Yes vote would end debate on it.
