“DEEM something passed and actually voting to pass something?”

Deeming it passed end runs an actual vote. It’s like ‘ditching in line’ or saying, “I got that.”

It’s cheating the record and in violation of Parliamentary Procedure, as it removes the choice and the voice.

The Jackasses will just argue that it's the Congressional "Infield Fly Rule"; an automatic pass, even if the vote would fail.
