The Senate cloture vote was the motion to proceed onto the debate.

Now it will be in debate for I think 30 hours unless they agree to a shorter period of time - or something like that.

When the debate time is up then The Senate will hold the final vote.

But it looks like Boehner will not bring it to the floor in The House for a vote and if he doesn't then it will just die over there as a pending bill.
