Senate To Take One
More Procedural Vote on Trade

With a planned Memorial Day recess coming up, the U.S. Senate is meeting today to deal with several issues. It
will consider legislation involving the National Security Agency and highway funding, which could run out at the
end of the month unless Senators approve a House-passed extension.
But the big news is on Obamatrade, where Senators have one more
chance to block one of the president’s signature initiatives.
This is a cloture vote, so would require 60 or more senators
to approve it. Thursday’s tally on a similar procedural vote was 62 pro votes,
but the Senate only reached that after some backroom wheeling and dealing. For
example, Majority
Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 54%promised some
wavering Democrats a vote on the Export-Import Bank if they’d support
moving forward on trade.
McConnell is also holding the holiday over the heads of
senators. The Senate could finish business as early as Friday afternoon, he
promised at the beginning of the day’s session. The unspoken threat is that he
may hold senators over into the weekend, eating into their planned vacation
time. Senators had planned to be off until early June.
The bill is expected to clear the 60-vote hurdle, but it’s
worth watching the vote, just in case.
