✗ MISLEADING TITLE

What the title suggests

A decision to end or limit debate on a proposed presidential nomination.

What it actually does

A vote on whether to require further debate on a proposed presidential nomination, which is a cloture motion itself.

Watch Items

•The title implies it's a simple decision to end debate, while the bill actually involves a vote on that decision.
•The title does not mention that the bill itself is a cloture motion, a procedural step in the nomination process.
