        Also the senate runs on a system where they handwave a ton of procedural rules and stuff but they can only do so with consent of everyone in the senate (when you hear about them fast-tracking judges and stuff that's what they're doing) so Bernie can force them to go through every single procedure if he really wants to be a huge pain in the ass
