Modifies Senate Rules 84 and 85 regarding a motion for the previous question

Summary

The resolution changes Senate Rules 84 and 85 to require at least two‑thirds of all senators to sustain a motion for the previous question, which stops debate and moves to a vote. This raises the threshold for cutting off discussion on any measure. It applies to every Senate proceeding and makes it harder for a majority to close debate.
