Title vs. Reality — VAGUE TITLE What the title suggests A cloture motion to move forward a piece of legislation.
What it actually does A cloture motion is used to limit debate and hold a vote on nominations, in this case, PN787-3.
Watch Items • It does not indicate that PN787-3 is a nomination, not a piece of legislation. • It implies the bill can be passed through cloture if the motion is approved. • It might create confusion about the distinction between cloture motions for legislation and nominations.
