“I wanted to correct the statement made in the earlier comments. It was indicated it required a two-thirds vote of the membership of the House. That was the bill as it had been introduced. The rule that we passed changed the bill, so it is only two-thirds of those present and voting. So if we want to cut Social Security, it would require a simple majority; if we want to cut education, a simple majority; cut Medicare, a simple majority. But to close the corporate loophole, it would require two-thirds of those present and voting.”
