Because this bill died in committee, I've been attempting to secure information regarding what it takes for this to occur.

Answered by a visitor on Oct 7, 2008 1:29 AM - A15: A13 is incorrect. I may be wrong, but I believe it takes a vote of 60% to move a bill out of committee. Since there are only 20 members in the committee, it would require 12 votes to get it out. The vote was on party line 11 to 9. One Democrat was all that was needed to move it to the floor.

If they voted to move it to the floor, why did it never get there? I'm going to have to keep looking for some accurate information on this issue.

My post wasn't to illustrate that the particular bill in question was voted to the floor, it was to illustrate that A bill can be voted to the floor by an 11 to 9 vote. Which makes sense, otherwise nothing would get done as the minority party would be able to tie the Senate in knots, no matter which party was in power.


Here's what I suspect happened. If they wanted to, Republicans could have voted this bill to the floor and voted on it anytime they wanted to. I don't think that Democrats would have filibustered it because both parties tend to save that option for REALLY major legislation or judicial choices.


I suspect it didn't make it for
