[CLARITY Act Not Included in Senate's Monday Agenda, Only 72-Hour Window Left Before Recess] BlockBeats News, August 3: The U.S. Senate's publicly released Monday agenda shows that the CLARITY Act has not been included in the schedule for Monday's deliberations. Currently, the Senate only plans to hold a procedural vote on the H.R.6500 continuing resolution. According to Senate rules, a standard motion to end debate requires the signatures of at least 16 senators. If the Senate files a motion to end debate on August 5 (Wednesday), the earliest related vote could take place on August 7 (Friday). However, this vote would only determine whether to end the debate on the "motion to proceed" for the bill, not the final passage of the CLARITY Act. If the motion to end debate passes, the Senate would still need to: discuss the motion to proceed for up to 30 hours; formally deliberate on the bill; and potentially face another motion to end debate. Therefore, the normal process may not be completed before the recess. (Cryptoslate) [Original Link]
