“the union issue is not spending.”

Are you sure? Because on the many, many other threads on this issue, it has been made clear that a quorum is required for this vote. If they’re able to attach parts of the bill to another that doesn’t require a quorum, thay may be able to pass much of it in bits and pieces.

A 2/3 quorum for spending bills, 1/2 for nonspending. When you say “This Vote” you mean the complete spending bill that has some union non-spending stuff attached.

They can pass the non-spending union issues like right to work seperately without any Democrats, as well as voter ID, Illegal Immigration related laws, etc.
