The Senate Can't Do Anything

This is a senate which famously can't do anything. How did they do this? Well, the answer is, they didn't know they were doing it. There is this rule in the senate called unanimous consent. And the idea is something can pass immediately as long as not a single senator objects to it. But this time, no one knew what was happening, so no one objected and it passed. Tom cotton, for example, hates this idea, but his staff never told him about it, so he couldn't object. He must be so angry that they deprived him of the chance to kill something other people love. O he missed the vote because he forgot to set his clock forward.
