[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3748792, member: 18222"] I do agree with that ... when the Nuclear Rule is applied to pending legislation the USA will have a ping-pong government, jumping all over the place. As of January 2018, a three-fifths majority vote is still required to end debates on [B]legislation[/B]. The nuclear rule effectively allows the Senate to decide any issue by a simple majority vote, regardless of existing procedural rules such as Rule XXII which requires the consent of 60 senators (out of 100) to end a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster']filibuster[/URL] for legislation, and 67 for amending a Senate rule.
