HR 1214: Dual Officeholding Amendment (Failed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Is it a 2/3 majority of the chamber to table or a 2/3 majority of those voting?

     Those voting, so this motion could still pass if the two remaining non-voting Representatives showed up and voted aye.

it also excludes abstentions. So you could theoretically table a bill with 2 ayes, 1 nay and 6 abstentions.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Vote on the motion to table:

Aye 2 (dfwlibertylover, Leinad)
Nay 2 (Ninja, Weatherboy)
Abstain 3 (NeverAgain, NC Yankee, Sestak)
Not voting 2 (Peebs, Rfayette)

     The motion fails, debate resumes.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

I motion for a final vote

[Terry the Fat Shark]

unless anyone has objections

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Representatives have 24 hours to object to the motion for a final vote.

[Associate Justice PiT]
