     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST UNILATERALLY REDUCING THE 
                   NUMBER OF DEPLOYED STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WARHEADS 
                   BELOW 1,550.

       (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 
     would--
       (1) cause a decrease in the number of deployed nuclear 
     warheads below the number set in the New START Treaty of 
     1,550; or
       (2) reduce Federal funds to maintain, modernize, and 
     replace deployed strategic nuclear warheads to ensure the 
     current number of such warheads never unilaterally drops 
     below 1,550.
       (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).
