Note that Madame Pelosi was not able to muster a "Simple Majority" to pass the Obamacare Trillion dollar Socialized Medicine bill. The best Pelosi could do was get 50.57% of the total vote of those voting for or against the legislation. A Simple Majority being 51%, Pelosi would have needed 221.85 votes to achieve a Simple Majority-------of those voting. Technically is it possible for the approval of the legislation with under 51% in favor to be challenged under Parliamentary Procedure and in the courts? Certainly, no mandate for Obamacare. Pelosi failed in achieving a mandate. Agree that the Senate is most often where sanity prevails---- mj
