Mr. President, I hope the leaders will provide some time for debate. The majority leader has made a unanimous consent request. Senators are reserving the right to object. They have no right to yield to other Senators when they are reserving the right to object. Let's have an orderly procedure here.
What is the regular order?
Parliamentary inquiry: Is the resolution before the Senate?
Then the resolution is not before the Senate. There is nothing before the Senate that can be amended at this point.
The request is an all-encompassing request. It doesn't give the Senate a chance to amend the resolution? That is what I am trying to find out.
Mr. President, do I have the floor?
He made a request, but he sent something to the desk, didn't he?
Yes, he does. I understand that. I had hoped to suggest the absence of a quorum, but he does retain the floor. I ask unanimous consent that I may speak for 1 minute.
