[Vision2020] If the Democrats were to gain a majority in the U.S. House and Senate in November . . .

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Tom,


The Subject says 'If the Democrats were to gain a majority in the U.S. House and Senate in November . . .'


Since majority =/= 2/3 majority, I think Mr. Force makes a good point. 51 votes is a majority, yet falls far short of the 2/3s needed.

Mr. Force -

Did you misread the subject of this thread?

“If the Democrats were to gain a majority in the U.S. House and Senate in November . . .”

The subject clearly refers to a date in the future (November 2018).  It is my opinion that this is very possible.


Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .

Since
conviction needs a 2/3rds vote by the senate, Trump has nothing to worry about. The rest of us...well...


  *   178.4 180.8 million people are represented by the 48 49 senators who caucus with the Democrats.
  *   144.1 141.7 million people are represented by the 52 51 senators who caucus with the Republicans.

“David Birdsell, dean of the school of public and international affairs at Baruch College, notes that by 2040, about 70% of Americans are expected to live in the 15 largest states,” Seib wrote. “They will have only 30 senators representing them, while the remaining 30% of Americans will have 70 senators representing them.”

. . . How soon after they are sworn in (in January) will impeachment proceedings begin?

I’m guessin’ that, if the Democrats do gain such a majority,  the U.S. Congress ( for the first time in history) will convene every day through the holiday break, including Christmas day.  Trump won’t be available, though.  He’ll be busy packing his bags for his move to Moscow (the one in Russia).

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .
