Here, Nordy, allow me to educate you:Trump said he will veto everything the Dems pass. Your post is insane.
Changing the number of Supreme Court justices requires passing an ordinary federal statute, which theoretically takes a simple majority vote in both the House and the Senate. [1, 2]
However, passing it in the Senate involves two distinct hurdles:
- The Filibuster: General legislation in the Senate can be subject to a filibuster, meaning it would actually require 60 votes to end debate and move to a final vote. [1]
- The "Nuclear Option": To pass the bill with only a simple majority (51 votes, or 50 plus the Vice President), the Senate would first have to change its internal rules to abolish or modify the filibuster for this type of legislation—a procedure often called the "nuclear option.
- Nordy, the Democratic/Socialist/Communists have already said that they will use the ”Nuclear option” to pass the bill with 51 votes.
- Do you understand now, Nordy?
They have also said that they will ensure that P.R. and D.C. become states. I ‘ll leave you to understand the implications of that, Nordy.
