Help recover Senate history!

Last Thursday, as the Senate was debating a student loan bill, Republicans and Democrats inserted numerous non-germane amendments. Among them was a particularly controversial amendment proposed by Democratic Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado regarding a potential pardon of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby by President Bush.

No great revelation came of what would have been a non-binding amendment expressing the sense of the Senate. It failed 47-49. What is interesting is that within an hour of the vote, the chamber moved to strike it from official Congressional records.

Although a number of media outlets have reported on this, the missing breakdown remains elusive.

I'll keep searching for it, and if I find it I'll post it. It may even end up a Key Vote at Project Vote Smart. If you're reading this, and you know where to find it, please post a link in a comment!

It's Senate Amendment 2356 to H.R. 2669.
