DREAM vote next week! - Page 2

Hope it passes

Anyone know how many votes it takes to attach an amendment to a bill?

It still takes 60 votes to attach DREAM as an amendment to anything.

For example: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...financial-bill

Thanks, Free2be!

So if we do get the 60 votes.

What happens next? Does it mean that the Dream Act passes and it won't go into another round of voting?

Sorry, I'm not sure what this means.

yea smeone needs to educate us thoroughly on how ammendments work please

amendment just means it was added to the bill. So it's part of the bill. That bill passes, dream passes.

Yeah I hope they get enough votes to add it to the bill

If the amendment passes next week, the defense bill still needs to pass the Senate. If I'm correct, the House already passed it's version of the defense authorization bill (without Dream Act attached). So, when the Senate version of the defense bill is passed, it goes to conference committee where they make the two versions of the bill similar. Then the Senate and House must pass the final version of the defense authorization bill.

When will the Defense Authorization Bill go into voting is the question. (assuming DreamAct gets the votes)
