I wonder how Rand Paul's positive test and quarantine might
affect the Senate debate and vote (tomorrow?) on the
stimulus package.

My understanding is that Senators must be present to vote.
Voting remotely is not allowed.

I heard one journalist say there are contingency plans
for this but I don't know any more about them.

Also my understanding ... the House can vote by
unanimous consent to pass a bill without having
all Representatives present.

Just don't know how the Senate rules read.

Rand Paul may have been a potential "nay" for the
bill because of the unrelated amendments he was
arguing for. He also may have dropped them and
is prepared to vote "yay" ... assuming he can vote
at all.


He and Matt Gaetz (spelling?) should share a hospital room.



So, you don't know how it works in the Senate either, I guess.
