    Motion to Invoke Cloture: John Hurley to be Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes
    On the Cloture Motion PN24-3 · PN 0

    It passed 46–36 with 10 Democrats and 7 Republicans and 1 independent not voting. The losing side was 10 votes short and 11 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have failed 46–47. But the winning side's absences offset that: with everyone there, the result would have stood (53–47).
