Unanimous consent in senate?[edit]

In the infobox it says: "Passed the Senate on April 6, 2022 (unanimous consent)". Can anyone clarify what does the "unanimous consent" mean here? The links only mention the unanimous consent for the amendment [1] and for the passage in the senate commitee [2], but for the vote of the bill S.3522 in the senate itself it does not mention unanimous consent, but only a voice vote. --Kammerer55 (talk) 16:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The news sources say the vote was unanimous in the Senate. E.g. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lend-lease-ukraine-weapons-bill-passes-congress/ and https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/these-10-republicans-voted-against-lend-lease-for-ukraine/ar-AAWJ58q
Also, this doesn't prove the Ukraine vote was unanimous, but in Voice vote it says that voice votes in Congress are usually unanimous, as even one dissenter can demand a division and full vote count. Shimbo (talk) 18:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, you are correct.
Voice vote is not the same as unanimous consent, but it is generally OK to refer to something passed by voice vote as "passed unanimously".
I fixed this in the legislative history now. CrazyPredictor (talk) 17:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
