                  MEASURE READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 4973

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, as I said, this is just putting on the 
calendar, rule XIV'ing the No Kings Act, which deals with the awful 
Supreme Court decision that basically allows Presidents to do what they 
want as long as they can call it official.
  I understand that there is a bill at the desk, and I ask for its 
first reading.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bill by title for the 
first time.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 4973) to reassert the constitutional authority 
     of Congress to determine the general applicability of the 
     criminal laws of the United States, and for other purposes.

  Mr. SCHUMER. I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place 
the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to 
my own request.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
  The bill will be read for the second time on the next legislative 
day.
