CLARITY Act Enactment Path: Floor Calendar, Markup Docket, and Vehicle Windows

Bills of this size rarely die from opposition; they die from calendar arithmetic. This feed tracks the three things that determine whether a digital-asset market structure title reaches the President's desk in 2026: how many actual voting days each chamber has left before each hard deadline, where the bill sits on the committee markup docket in the chamber that has not yet acted, and which must-pass vehicles are still open and still plausibly germane. Each week the pack reports scheduled and lost session days, any change in noticed markup dates, cloture and floor-time availability against the queue ahead of it, and the open or closed status of every candidate vehicle with the reason a vehicle closed. An election-year calendar compounds all of this: October is effectively gone, the post-election period is short and crowded, and a title that has not been reported out of committee by the end of the September work period is functionally dependent on being attached to something else. Method: session days are counted from the published chamber calendars excluding pro forma sessions; markup status is read from committee notices, filed committee reports, and the daily digest rather than from statements about intent; vehicle status is tracked from the underlying statutory or appropriations deadline and from the actual legislative vehicle text as amendments post.
