JGunnCool asks:
Before 1 January 2023, will the US Senate independently expand the scope of matters for which a filibuster cannot be used?
Closed Jan 01, 2023 08:01AM UTC
After using a legislative workaround to bypass the 60-vote requirement for an increase in the debt ceiling, Democrats are struggling to find other ways to bypass the filibuster (CNN, The Hill). A change requiring action outside of the Senate (e.g., congressional legislation) would not count (e.g., Senate Bill 610).
