A bill to amend the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 with respect to future membership in the Catawba Indian Nation.

United States · United States Congress · 12 February 2026

This bill revises tribal membership requirements for the Catawba Indian Nation (a tribe in South Carolina). The Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 explicitly restricted the tribe’s future membership to lineal descendants of people on the final base membership roll who maintained continuous political relations with the tribe. This bill removes these membership criteria and allows the tribe to determine its membership. (The tribe uses three base membership rolls and anyone who wants to be enrolled must prove lineal descent from someone listed on one of these base membership rolls.)

A resolution extending the enforcement of certain budgetary points of order in the Senate.

United States · United States Congress · 21 October 2025

This resolution extends authorities related to the enforcement of several budget points of order in the Senate through FY2027. Budget points of order are used to enforce congressional budget procedures and substantive provisions of a congressional budget resolution (e.g., spending allocations). If a Senator successfully raises a budget point of order against legislation, further consideration of the legislation is generally prohibited unless the Senate waives the budget point of order.  A motion to waive most budget points of order in the Senate requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of all Senators duly chosen and sworn (60 votes if there are no vacancies). This resolution extends provisions that require this three-fifths vote of the Senate to waive several specified budget points of order.
