WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Senate may be ready to give approval this week to a nuclear trade deal with India that the Bush administration has been pushing Congress to wrap up. The House of Representatives gave its OK to the bill Saturday and now Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has predicted the Senate could vote as early as Wednesday. But the vote is not a certainty, thanks to a rapidly approaching congressional adjournment and complicated Senate rules. At least one senator, remaining anonymous under parliamentary rules, has been blocking a vote. And there must be agreement to remove a rare requirement that congressional approval must be after the Senate is in session for 30 days, an impossible-to-meet clause as Congress races to go on the campaign trail for the November election. |
