  1. Motion filed in 2015. Vote occurred in 2016.   2. Motion by Senator McConnell to reconsider the vote by which the second cloture motion on amendment S.Amdt.3801 was not invoked (Record Vote No. 66) rendered moot because third cloture motion on S.Amdt.3801 was invoked by Record Vote No. 68(see Congressional Record pages S2615 and S2680).
