The Senate version of the House resolution, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D) with Sen. Rand Paul (R) as an original co-sponsor. It was blocked on March 4, 2026, largely along party lines — with Rand Paul voting for it and Sen. John Fetterman voting against it. Because the resolution was stuck in committee, Kaine had to use a procedural "motion to discharge" to force it to the floor — and that motion itself failed, meaning the full Senate never even got a direct vote on the substance.
