About this vote

Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can overturn a federal agency rule by passing a joint resolution of disapproval, which also needs the President's signature. S.J.Res. 99 would overturn the rule submitted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services titled "Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents". A motion to proceed is the vote on whether the Senate will begin considering a measure. The motion failed, so the Senate did not take up the resolution.
