Actually, even a “PLURALITY” of votes is legal to pass a bill in Congress.
Plurality, 51%, 60%, 66% 2/3 are all options.
When was the Constitution replaced by committee rules?? Did John Handcock sign those?
Congressional Republicans are conning you, to falsely claim they are helpless. They want your money.
Tell your Congressman, 60% is FAKE, it is arbitrary.
The Democrats like control, so they limit themselves to 60%. Fine.
The Republicans instead are Constitutional, 51% or a plurality is Ok.
The constitution authorizes the house and senate to make their own rules (by majority vote in each chamber). They made these “60 vote” and other rules for themselves. The “nuclear option” is actually the constitutional option to change the rules. Harry Reid executed that option to some degree to push through Obama’s agenda.
