In a bid to offer his amendment, Cruz tried to set aside the Senate's "tree" — which blocks senators from offering additional amendments to a piece of legislation.
After senators blocked his effort, the Texas Republican added that "what's happened here is Majority Leader McConnell has taken a page out of Leader Reid's playbook."

Cruz warned that he will try to offer his amendment again on Tuesday, suggesting that constituents should watch to see which senator block his effort.
