Senate Clears Path for Ex-Im Renewal
Sen. Kirk is offering an amendment over strong objections of fellow Republican lawmakers.

The Senate is set to consider an amendment by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) today to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank after the chamber, in an unusual Sunday vote, yesterday agreed 67-26 to block any attempt to filibuster the measure. Sunday’s vote to cut off debate came over the strong objections of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other chief critics of the bank.
