Paired votes 4: Senate rules allow members who are absent to ?pair? on opposing votes. Although the paired votes do not count on the final vote tally, the members proclaim their position on the issue. If present, McKissick would have voted yes to Goodall?s no vote and Queen would have voted yes to Jacumin?s no.

Third Reading vote in the Senate passed by a voice vote.
