"Filling the tree" nghĩa là gì?
24 Dec, 2023
"Filling the tree" có tree là biểu đồ hình cây -> cụm từ này nghĩa là thủ tục được Lãnh đạo Đa số thuộc Thượng viện dùng để đưa ra đủ số lượng các sửa đổi trong luật, vì thế không thượng nghị sĩ nào đưa ra thay đổi khác nữa.
Ví dụ
Mr. Dole turned to the Senate’s Democratic master of floor procedure (quy trình), Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, who taught him a parliamentary (quốc hội) trick known to Senate insiders as “filling the tree,” Mr. Dole recalled.
“I never knew what ‘filling the tree’ was until I tried it, but it turned out to be pretty good,” Mr. Dole said, ruefully (buồn bã) accepting a share of the blame for the parliamentary arms race that has consumed the Senate in recent years. “I don’t think there’s any credit.”
The current Democratic majority has contributed (đóng góp) to the parliamentary tit-for-tat, by filling the tree more than in any previous Congress. It has done so over 20 times in each of the last three sessions (phiên họp) of Congress. The previous high had been 11, under Republican leadership in 2005 and 2006.
“‘Filling the tree’ can be a procedural necessity when the majority is faced with a minority dead set on blind obstruction,” said Adam Jentleson, a Reid spokesman. “But Sen. McConnell enjoys the luxury of a very cooperative minority, and yet he is still on track to fill the tree more than any Senate leader in American history.”
