CLARITY Act vanishes from Monday’s Senate schedule, triggering 72-hour countdown to save it before recess
cryptoslate.com • • business
Key Points:
- The Senate floor plan for Monday does not include action on the CLARITY Act, with the only scheduled vote being on a continuing-resolution vehicle, H.R. 6500.
- The Senate’s cloture ledger shows no entry for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633), indicating no publicly scheduled floor path for the bill as the August recess approaches.
- Under Senate rules, cloture requires 16 signatures and a three-fifths majority (typically 60 votes) to proceed, with various procedural options available to expedite or delay the process.
- Key Democratic senators have expressed reservations about the current draft of the CLARITY Act, and Majority Leader John Thune indicated a procedural vote would only occur if sufficient Democratic support materializes.
- The next critical step is for Senate leaders to file cloture petitions or secure unanimous consent by Wednesday to enable a potential vote before the recess, with the legislative vehicle and timing still uncertain.
