I would vote for it and I think there are probably a half dozen or dozen other Members who would similarly vote for it and we would have 70 or 75 votes for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Because of circumstances and because of the parliamentary situation. I offered that as a senseoftheSenate resolution. It was then seconddegreed. The Senator from Wyoming became fairly upset about that. and I understand why. He is managing a bill dealing with immigration. He said. "What does this have to do with Immigration?" Plenty of people have offered amendments that are not germane in the Senate. We do not have a germaneness rule. They have offered them because they felt the circumstances required them to offer them.
