Voters will overwhelmingly blame Republicans for economic fallout of the shutdown, according to CNBC poll

Democrats take a huge hit and the overall the overall atmosphere is negative to Dems. All that has to happen is Dems agree to a clean CR and we're back in business. The longer it goes in etnit gets worse for Dems.

LOL - perhaps if you say it often enough it'll come true? Republicans are in power, tiger. Republicans are trying to kill healthcare for millions - it's a Republican shutdown!

The 60-vote requirement for passing a Continuing Resolution (CR) in the U.S. Senate stems from the Senate's cloture rule, which is designed to end debate on a bill and proceed to a vote.

A CR, which temporarily funds the government to prevent a shutdown, is typically subject to this rule like most other legislation.

Under Senate Rule XXII, a cloture motion to end debate requires a three-fifths majority of the Senate, or 60 votes (assuming all 100 senators are present and voting).

This threshold exists to prevent filibusters, where senators could indefinitely delay a vote by holding the floor with extended debate. Without 60 votes to invoke cloture, debate can continue, stalling the CR's passage.

The 60-vote rule encourages bipartisan cooperation, as it often requires support from both parties, especially when one party doesn't hold a supermajority. However, it can also lead to gridlock if agreement is elusive.

Some exceptions, like budget reconciliation, avoid this threshold, but CRs typically don't qualify for such processes.In short, the 60-vote requirement reflects the Senate's emphasis on deliberation and consensus, rooted in its procedural rules to manage debate and filibusters.

All 3 Chambers of government - Republican. It's over Republicans trying to end healthcare for millions so billionaires can afford that third yacht. You can post walls of text ad-nauseum. All the Republicans have to do is vote is to include the extension of healthcare subsidies in their current bill and all will be well.

This is class warfare designed as "fiscal responsibility".

So, what is your excuse for your inability to do basic math?

The government has three branches.

Mike Johnson is dealing honestly. Republicans are free to come and go as they please. Remember, Johnson doesn't have the Schumer lock-down on Republicans.

Nope. It's a Schumer shutdown. Period.

Cloture rule; established by DEMOCRATS, BTW.

Senate Rule XXII, which includes the cloture rule requiring a three-fifths majority (typically 60 votes) to end debate, was originally adopted in 1917. It was primarily authored by Senator Thomas S. Martin (Democrat from Virginia), who was the Senate Majority Leader at the time.

Open up the healthcare extensions to a vote in the current bill and all will be golden.

I'm curious if you truly are this ignorant on the issues?

the health care subsidies are ending - per the very legislation advanced by Democrats when they were in charge

you know that, right? it is hard to tell what you know, vs what you purposefully lie about

They made them last 1 year the first time, and two years on the renewal - so when the spending is scored by the very office we have tell us what things cost - they can say it doesn't cost very much

Thanks for emphasizing and highlighting that more people overall will blame Republicans in Congress, blame Trump, or blame both of them for any economic fallout.

Besides who do you think makes up the trump and trump/ Republican group? It's idiots with TDS like you that blame Trump for everything. They're incompetent assholes at work and when they get fired they blame trump. You really think it's rational people do you? Even you cant be that stupid...can you?
