参议院迎来两项重磅法案。
参议员们于8月8日凌晨后首次返回华盛顿。参议院将在休会参加中期选举前召开为期三周的会议——前提是会议能顺利进行至那时候。
参议员们有诸多议题亟待处理，但目前仅两项重大法案安排了程序性投票。
第一项立法投票已确定：周二下午将就加密货币监管法案进行程序性投票。该法案需要60票才能进入正式审议流程。

没有人比特朗普总统更支持加密货币。他正敦促参议院推进相关立法。
“我们彻底终结了针对加密货币的战争，”总统说道，“现在我们需要国会迈出下一步，通过《清晰法案》。”
我们来厘清《清晰法案》的具体内容。该法案明确了数字货币和代币的联邦监管规则，监管框架将由美国证券交易委员会（SEC）和商品期货交易委员会（CTFC）两家机构分工负责。该法案的通过将为加密货币建立监管屏障迈出第一步。
“去年夏天，我们在众议院以78票民主党赞成票通过了《清晰法案》。现在是参议院加入我们的时候了，”众议院金融服务委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党议员弗兰奇·希尔在福克斯商业频道表示。
该法案获得两党支持，但民主党方面出现了阻碍。
“我认为，目前仅剩的重大问题是道德条款，”希尔说道。
特朗普总统自己的财务披露报告显示，仅去年一年，他就从加密货币中获利14亿美元。这正是民主党要求为特朗普家族及加密货币行业制定专门规则的原因。
“这一条款基本上使总统免于任何道德约束，而这在民主党党团会议中是绝对行不通的，”加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚当·希夫说道。
马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦表示，该法案与特朗普及其行业盟友的诉求过于契合。
“没错，我们需要加密货币立法，但绝不是这份由行业起草的法案，”沃伦说道，“我实在看不出无论是民主党还是共和党议员，怎么能推进这项法案。”
这也是许多人质疑该法案能否获得两次60票以打破阻挠议事的原因。反对声音也让加密货币支持者感到恼火。
“这是恰逢其时的正确法案，现在是投票的时候了，”怀俄明州共和党参议员辛西娅·勒米斯说道。
她认为加密货币支持者已经顺应要求强化了道德规则。
“2023年，我们新增了100页强化消费者保护的条款。但我们收到议员反馈，他们希望进一步加强。因此我们再次听取了意见。如今，这份原本不足300页的法案已超过600页。这是11个月来两党议员在无窗会议室里每日磋商的成果，两党议员都分享了各自的优先事项，我们勤勉地将它们纳入法案，”勒米斯颇为无奈地说道。
沃伦则认为，该法案会让毒贩和恐怖分子更容易通过加密货币进行资金运作，无需留下纸质痕迹。
特德·克鲁兹敦促参议院留在华盛顿，直至本周通过《保护大学体育法案》

勒米斯表示，如果美国不制定自己的加密货币监管蓝图，数字资产行业可能会流向海外。
“这些企业可以前往新加坡、瑞士、阿联酋，那里有明确且清晰的监管体系，”勒米斯说道。
因此，这项程序性投票已确定。但在距离中期选举如此之近的节点通过重大金融监管法案实属罕见。如果民主党在11月的选举中获胜，可能会与白宫产生摩擦。
参议院还预计在9月底前就大学体育资金监管法案进行程序性投票，但目前尚未确定具体投票日期。
您知道那句老话：没有所谓的坏宣传？而围绕大学橄榄球的“负面”宣传可能反而推动了这项立法。
特朗普总统上月曾呼吁参议员留在华盛顿完成该法案的审议，但当时法案尚未准备就绪。不过，关于前职业球员重返校园的争议——更不用说密歇根大学的计时系统故障——可能会促使持怀疑态度的参议员重新审视这项法案。
我们先来看看路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）近端锋达奎安·赖特的情况，如果您能跟上他的经历的话。
去年，赖特在奥本大学为现任LSU主教练莱恩·基芬效力——之后基芬在赛季末中途离任，转投LSU。赖特随后决定进军职业联赛。费城老鹰队在春季选中了他，但上月初早早将他解约。克利夫兰布朗队随后签下了赖特，他在对阵布法罗比尔队的季前赛中登场，但从未获得一分钟上场时间。随后布朗队又将他裁掉。
于是赖特重返校园，但这次他选择了LSU。
“我只是再次穿上大学球衣，走上赛场享受乐趣，珍惜这次机会，”赖特说道。
随后一名法官裁定赖特和前奥本大学防守截锋扎维安·哈里斯可以在今年秋季为LSU出战。但在此期间，哈里斯曾在新奥尔良圣徒队参加季前训练营——之后球队将他解约。
德鲁·罗森豪斯是赖特的经纪人，他认为自己的客户在短暂的职业联赛生涯后别无选择。
“他的NFL合同已经终止，”罗森豪斯说道，“如果他还能在NFL打球，他现在应该还在那里。”
类似的混乱局面正促使议员们尝试监管大学体育赛事。
“如果大学可以从NFL招募球员，这对即将进入大学打球的高中生来说并不公平，”参议院商务委员会主席、德克萨斯州共和党议员特德·克鲁兹说道。
克鲁兹与该委员会民主党高级议员、华盛顿州参议员玛丽亚·坎特韦尔联手起草了大学体育监管法案。
其中一项重大限制是：该法案限制运动员只能转学一次。
“转学门户已经失控。运动员转学两次、三次、四次的情况比比皆是，基本没有参赛资格规则。因此运动员可以打6年、7年、8年球。甚至有28岁的运动员和17岁的年轻人同场竞技，”克鲁兹说道。
这种频繁转学的情况也让特朗普政府感到担忧。
议员们赞扬特朗普政府领导的两党合作努力，称其“为子孙后代保护大学体育”

“这太疯狂了，”副总统JD·万斯在对同事卢卡斯·汤姆林森说道，“我小时候……运动员和球迷之间会有一些忠诚度，你会记得为你所在球队效力的球员的名字，因为他们会在那里待三四年。”
克鲁兹和坎特韦尔的法案还对学校用于运动员姓名、形象和肖像权（NIL）的资金设置了上限。考虑到最近的争议，该法案还禁止运动员先转为职业选手，之后再重返大学赛场。
白宫已邀请传奇前阿拉巴马州橄榄球教练尼克·萨班来推动该法案的通过。
“今天就加入胜利之队，帮助国会保护这项美国传统，”萨班在全国播出的广告中说道。
但即使该法案在参议院获得通过，在众议院的前路也不明朗。众议院也将于周一恢复议事，但目前尚不清楚议员们会停留多久，毕竟中期选举迫在眉睫。
“萨班教练来过我的办公室，我们讨论过这个问题，他说得没错，”众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊说道，“我认为国会已经准备好采取行动，但这需要参众两院共同努力。”
换句话说，就像橄榄球比赛有进攻计时钟一样，国会也有自己的议事倒计时。
“我欣赏参议院同事们的热情，”众议院民主党党团主席、加利福尼亚州民主党议员皮特·阿圭拉尔说道，“但我不知道是否有足够的时间完成这项工作。”
时间可能是加密货币法案和大学体育法案共同的敌人。议员们返回国会山时，一只脚几乎已经跨出门槛，随时准备返回机场。

参议院迎来两项重磅法案。但如果其中一项或两项法案的推进不顺利，议员们可能就没有理由继续留在华盛顿了。如果议员们现在不处理这些法案，潜在的立法修订可能要等到明年1月新一届国会就职后才有机会推进。

It’s a twofer in the Senate.
Senators return to Washington Monday for the first time since the wee hours of Aug. 8. The Senate’s slated to meet for three weeks before heading home for the midterms — if the session even goes that long.
There are a lot of items senators want to tackle. But only two big ones are lined up for test votes right now.
The first legislative vote is locked in. It’s a procedural vote on a measure to regulate cryptocurrency. That comes Tuesday afternoon. The bill needs 60 votes to be in play.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: SUMMER ENDS, BUT THE SENATE’S FALL CRUNCH BEGINS

There’s no bigger advocate for cryptocurrency than President Trump. He’s pushing for the Senate to move legislation.
“We ended the war on crypto once and for all,” said the President. “Now we need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act.”
Let’s clarify what the Clarity Act does. The measure clarifies federal rules for digital currencies and tokens. The framework would divide oversight between two regulators: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CTFC). Approval of the bill would be the first step toward establishing guardrails for cryptocurrency.
“We passed the Clarity Act in the House last summer with 78 Democratic votes. It’s now time for the Senate to join us,” said House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, R-Ark., on Fox Business.
The package has bipartisan support. But there’s a roadblock coming from the Democrats.
“The one remaining significant issue, I think, is the ethics provision,” said Hill.
President Trump’s own financial disclosure report reveals he earned $1.4 billion on cryptocurrency last year alone. That’s why Democrats want specific rules for the Trump family and crypto.
“It basically exempts the President from any kind of ethical constraints. And that’s just not going to fly in the Democratic caucus,” said Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., says the bill is too closely aligned with what the President and his industry allies want.
“Yes. We need crypto legislation. But not this legislation that has been written by this industry,” said Warren. “I just don’t see how anyone, Democrat or Republican, moves forward on this bill.”
That’s why many doubt the measure can score 60 votes twice to break a filibuster. The naysaying aggravates cryptocurrency advocates.
“This is the right bill at the right time, and it’s time to vote,” said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wy.
She argues that crypto supporters bowed to demands to firm up ethics rules.
“In 2023, we added 100 pages with stronger consumer protection provisions. Yet we got feedback from colleagues that they wanted more. So again, we listened. Today, this bill that was under 300 pages is more than 600 pages. That’s hundreds of pages built over 11 months of daily bipartisan negotiations in windowless rooms where colleagues from both parties shared their priorities, and we worked diligently to incorporate them,” said an exasperated Lummis.
Warren argues that the bill makes it easier for drug runners and terrorists to fund their operations — without a literal paper trail.
TED CRUZ URGES SENATE TO STAY IN WASHINGTON UNTIL PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT PASSES THIS WEEK

Lummis says if the U.S. doesn’t establish its cryptocurrency blueprint, digital assets could flee overseas.
“These companies can go to Singapore, Switzerland, the UAE and have a well-understood clear set of regulations,” said Lummis.
So that test vote is locked in. But it’s rare to pass a major financial regulatory measure this close to the midterms. And if Democrats prevail in November, that could create friction with the White House.
The Senate also expects a test vote before the end of September on a bill to regulate money in college sports. But there’s no specific agreement on a date for that roll call tally.
You know the old saying that there’s no such thing as bad publicity? Well, the “bad” publicity surrounding college football could potentially provide this legislation a boost.
President Trump implored senators to stay in Washington to finish the bill last month. But it wasn’t ready. However, controversies over former pro players heading back to college — to say nothing of clock maintenance at the University of Michigan — could prod skeptical senators to give this measure another look.
Let’s start with LSU tight end Dae’Quan Wright. If you can keep up with him.
Last year, Wright played for current LSU head coach Lane Kiffin last year at Ole Miss — before Kiffin abandoned his squad late in the season for the Tigers. Wright decided to go pro. The Philadelphia Eagles picked him up in the spring. But then waved Wright early last month. The Cleveland Browns then signed Wright. He dressed for a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Never played a snap. Then the Browns cut him.
So, Wright headed back to school. But this time, at LSU.
“I’m just putting on a college uniform again and going out there and having fun and embracing my opportunity,” said Wright.
A judge then cleared Wright and former Ole Miss defensive lineman Zxavian Harris to play for LSU this fall. But in between, Harris appeared in preseason camp with the New Orleans Saints — before the team waived him.
Drew Rosenhaus is Wright’s agent. He believes his client had no other option after his brief cup of coffee in the pros.
“His contract with the NFL was terminated,” said Rosenhaus. “If he was still able to play in the NFL, he would be there.”
Chaos like this is prodding lawmakers to try to regulate intercollegiate athletics.
“It’s not fair to the high school kids coming out to play college ball if you suddenly have colleges that are going and recruiting from the NFL,” said Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
Cruz teamed up with Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., the top Democrat on the Commerce panel, to craft the college athletics regulation measure.
One big restriction: the legislation limits athletes to one transfer.
“The transfer portal is out of control. You have athletes transferring two, three, four times. You have essentially no eligibility rules. So you have athletes competing six, seven, eight years. You have 28-year-olds competing against 17-year-old kids,” said Cruz.
The constant darting around from school to school worries the Trump administration, too.
LAWMAKERS PRAISE BIPARTISAN EFFORTS LED BY TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS’

“It’s a crazy system, man,” said Vice President JD Vance to colleague Lucas Tomlinson. “When I was growing up…you would get some loyalty, between the athletes and the fan bases. You would know the names of the people who played for your team because they were there for three or four years.”
The Cruz/Cantwell package also caps money schools can use for name, image and likeness, or NIL. And, considering the recent contretemps, the legislation bars athletes from going pro. Then reversing field to college.
The White House tapped legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban to push for passage of the bill.
“Join the winning team today and help Congress protect this American tradition,” says Saban in the commercial now airing around the country.
But even if the bill gets through the Senate, it faces an unclear path in the House. The House returns to session Monday, too. But it’s unclear how long its members will stick around with the midterms looming.
“I’ve had coach Saban in my office, and we’ve talked about this, and he’s right,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. “I think Congress is ready to act. But it takes both chambers.”
In other words, just like there’s a play clock in football, there’s a play clock in Congress, too.
“I appreciate the exuberance of our Senate colleagues,” said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif. “But I don’t know if there’s enough days to get this done.”
Time may be the enemy of both the cryptocurrency bill and the college athletics bill. Lawmakers return to Capitol Hill with one foot practically out the door, headed back toward the airport.

It’s a Senate twofer. But if things don’t sail smoothly on either or both bills, there may be little reason to anchor lawmakers to Washington. And if lawmakers don’t address these bills now, potential legislative fixes may evaporate until the new Congress begins in January.
