Sen Ted Cruz ( R TX) voted Nay “cloture”

Thank you.

A cloture vote, which requires sixty Yeas to pass, is often the true test of a Senator's opposition to a bill, since many Senators are "allowed" to vote Nay on the bill itself, which only require fifty Yeas plus the Vice President to pass, to give themselves political cover.

When you want to research a certain vote, find the bill's designation letters and number, and the date it was voted on,
then use that to find the recorded vote, and then look for the member you want to know how voted.

I like "Dogpile.com" search engine because it doesn't bury you with too many garbage links.
