If the cloture vote Monday at 4:30 is held and all the gang of 14 (7) Democrats vote present instead of NO on the filibuster will it still require 60 votes to invoke cloture?

Yes. Passing the motion requires 60 affirmative votes.

Have you ever "googled" your posts on FR to find out how many times you have answered that question about how many votes it takes to invoke cloture??? LOL

Chuck54---this is meant as no offense to you...it is just that poor Cboldt gets asked so many questions during a thread...and spends so much time posting links and answers...I think we should dub him the "Answer Man"!!!
