This may have been asked and answered but here goes.......
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?
Anyone?

4:30 Monday was chosen because everyone expect to be in town to be at the SOTU address on Tuesday.

Why on earth would they do THAT?? Such a thing won't happen.
