Did you mean in the Senate, in the House, or both?

As HM so kindly explained to me, they can't get a 2/3 majority in the Senate. There is a small chance they could manage it in the House. What impact (if any) would such an out come have?

So...you're actually asking about a supermajority in the House, not a simple majority in Congress (which means nothing by itself), a simple majority in the House, or a simple majority in the Senate.

I bet you find the Electoral Collge confusing too. :-)

The electoral college is a typo? Does that mean we can get rid of it? That silly Ben Franklin and his printing press, anyhow.
