       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that, as 
     determined by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
     Office, would result in a decrease in the number of children 
     enrolled in Medicaid under title XIX of the Social Security 
     Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) or the Children's Health 
     Insurance Program under title XXI of such Act (42 U.S.C.

     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
