Just majority, but the question is if the Senate will pass and you know Code Black will veto it.

Even if this passes, does it MEAN ANYTHING? Is it binding on the budget?

15 minute vote

[I recall that the Medicare prescription drug bill was to be a 15-minute vote, but it took nearly 3 hours due to backroom arm-twisting.]

Doesn’t the House control the purse strings? If the Senate does not pass it, can’t the House just withhold funding? I realize it is not that simplistic, but I'd sure like to know why the House can't just keep the People's wallet closed no matter what the Senate does.

It means the House has voted to fund government except ObamaCare for the next 90 days. The Senate won’t.

What happens then is anyones guess.

dirty little secret.....a lot of Libs don’t like this law any better than we do.

Granted they want single payer. They’ve circled the wagons just to protect their hero. Will be interesting to see if they continue to do so after discovering that he’s a warmonger.
