The motion is not subject to a motion to post-
pone. A motion to reconsider the vote by which 
the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not 
be in order. If a motion to proceed to the con-
sideration of the joint resolution of disapproval 
is agreed to, the joint resolution shall remain 
the unfinished business until disposed of. 
(D) DEBATE.—Debate on the joint resolu-
tion of disapproval, and on all debatable mo-
tions and appeals in connection therewith, shall 
be limited to not more than 10 hours, which 
shall be divided equally between the majority 
and minority leaders or their designees. A mo-
tion to further limit debate is in order and not 
debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to 
postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consid-
eration of other business, or a motion to recom-
mit the joint resolution of disapproval is not in 
order. 
(E) VOTE ON PASSAGE.—The vote on pas-
sage shall occur immediately following the con-
clusion of the debate on the joint resolution of 
disapproval and a single quorum call at the con-
clusion of the debate, if requested in accordance 
with the rules of the Senate.
