     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT PROVIDES 
                   FOR A DECREASE IN SPENDING FOR DEFENSE FOR 
                   FISCAL YEAR 2022.

       (a) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--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 would 
     provide for an aggregate amount of spending for defense for 
     fiscal year 2022 that is less than the aggregate amount 
     enacted for spending for defense for fiscal year 2021.
       (2) Spending for defense defined.--In this section, the 
     term ``spending for defense'', for a fiscal year, means the 
     aggregate of amounts available for that fiscal year for 
     budget function 050, including amounts for overseas 
     contingency operations and emergency funds.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     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).
