I am hearing that they will include the “public option” in the reconciliation bill. This could be Christmas in January for Republicans. Where’s the guy with the picture of the train crash at Montparnasse France in 1895?
Remember...whatever is passed via reconciliation, can be repealed via reconciliation.
But O’Dumbo can always veto the repeal...
What good drugs are you on ... and can I have some
The House only needs to pass the Senate version of the bill (UNALTERED) with 218 votes. Simple majority wins in the House.
BUT, if the House changes EVEN ONE PUNCTUATION MARK in the bill that was passed by the Senate, it WILL REQUIRE a re-vote by the Senate.
And that would take 60 votes to invoke cloture - then 51 votes to pass the bill ...
Ain't gonna happen ...
