A Senator can move for a recorded vote, though.<br \/>\n&#8211; Changes to the Rules will be referred to the Committee on Rules. If the Committee on Rules does not report it out within two legislative days it will be automatically discharged from the committee and put before the senate for a vote (which, again, could be a hand vote or a roll call).<\/p>\n<p>I hope that covers it.
