For example, President Biden signed an executive order to promote pay transparency and eliminate pay disparities in the federal workforce and among federal contractors. He also signed a law to provide new protections for pregnant and nursing workers.




Additionally, he has urged Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that would strengthen the enforcement of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and provide more tools for workers to fight pay discrimination.

In particular, a Senator who seeks recognition usually has a right to the floor if no other Senator is speaking, and then that Senator may speak for as long as he or she wishes. Also, there is no motion by which a simple majority of the Senate can stop a debate and allow itself to vote in favor of an amendment, a bill or resolution, or most other debatable questions.
