"Entrenchment" of Senate Procedure and the "Nuclear Option" for Change
Possible Proceedings and Their Implications
Examines historical and current Senate procedure governing rule changes, in light of recent efforts to invoke so-called "nuclear option" and circumvent existing procedure to require only a simple majority vote to overcome a filibuster. Reviews requisites of a "nuclear option," possible proceedings in a contemporary "nuclear option," the "constitutional option," and implications of using extraordinary action to overcome entrenchment.
