From what i understand, they propose many amendments to attach to a bill but many times alot of the amendments dont get voted on before cloture so they are just left off.

There is no scheduled cloture vote on this bill, because it isnt controversial its a bipartisan bill

I guess sometimes they just don't get to all the proposed amendments before the final vote.

Twelve amendments doesnt sound like too much. We may have a chance with this one.

2 amendments have passed already without the need for a vote with a unanimous consent/voice vote
