Senate votes to preserve rules against changes for cloture
Washington, Dec. 20. The senate rejected all moves to alter its rules to allow cloture by a vote of 87 to 17. The clash followed Vice President Sherman last week ruling that a pair declaration could justify adding a senator to make a quorum during a yea and nay vote. The issue resurfaced during journal approval and again amid votes on amendments to the omnibus claims bill on an appeal from the chair by Senator Hale.
