Were the 6 who voted present too stupid to figure out a vote is yea or nea? After all, if they voted we already know they are present.

"Present" is how one records a "No Vote" without appearing not to have been in congress for the vote. It's use as such goes back to the beginnings of Congress.

If this was the Senate, we can all guess on how particular loser would vote:

"Yea."
"No, nay."

"I actually did vote for the resolution, before I voted against it."

I want to know who the 2 Republicans that had voted 'yea' before changing to 'nay' and who did the ass kicking to persuade these RINOs to change their vote...
