About this vote

Cloture is a vote to end debate; most bills need 60 votes. This cloture vote was on the motion to proceed, the step that lets the Senate formally take up a measure. S.Res. 526 withholds pay from senators during any federal government shutdown, meaning a lapse in appropriations for one or more federal agencies, with pay to be provided as soon as practicable after the shutdown ends. Cloture was approved, allowing the Senate to move toward taking up the resolution.
