re: #461 BryanS

It makes her like every speaker of the house—except for every other speaker of the house. 60 votes is relevant to getting legislation passed in the Senate. This has always been true, and every previous speaker managed to be able to pass legislation that would end up passing the Senate.

No, every other speaker of the house ever has had legislation they couldn’t move out of the house. If you’re claiming that anyone else had a 100% batting average I want to know who it was.

The 60 vote number doesn’t mean dick in the house.
