LMAO Dems said beforehand that they don't want this to actually happen, it was designed as a message bill that just "encourages the president to do something", but even this failed.

      Is it anything like British parliament? Parliament only needs 40 MPs present in the hall to pass legislation so theoretically things can go to vote and simply not have enough members of the ruling party present to get it through.

        each chamber has separate rules for quorum. but yeah, they can gavel in a session with like a bare majority iirc and pass whatever they like but then they'd actually need to do something. the democrats are peak "the dog that caught the car"
