    Actually, it would have passed if every Democrat voted Nay, by 3 votes.

    216 R voted Yea and 208 of 213 dems voted Nay

      Simple majorities can’t pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?

          Really? I’m pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What’s the next excuse then? What’s the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.

            Really?

            You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?
