Negative.

False.

They voted in lock-step *against* a bipartisan proposal for a deficit reduction commission which would have been tasked with coming up with a set of policy prescriptions to reduce the chronic federal deficits, and then Congress would have committed itself to giving the panel's package of prescriptions a straight up or down vote.

The proposed bill DID NOT mandate *any* course of action for the bipartisan commission to take!
