Any senator could prevent such an agreement, causing the Senate to miss the Treasury deadline of the end of the day Tuesday for enactment of a debt-ceiling increase, but Senate conservatives may be ready to agree to quick vote as long as 60 votes are required for passage, a deal Senate Democrats, confident of passage with both party leaders behind the measure, will gladly take.
