■▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬■
SECTION I. DEFINITION
If passed, if a congressman abstains on something that requires 2/3's to pass or 1/3's to fail the abstention will take away from the 2/3 and or 1/3. Meaning if there are 23 Representatives and 2/3 is required to pass something and 5 Representatives abstains the needed votes to pass will be 2/3 of 18 and not 23 and or 1/3 of 18 to fail it and not 23.

SECTION II. REASONING
This has been a 'hot topic' in Congress recently and has caused elections to be affected along with our passed/failed legislation regarding a vote of 2/3's to pass and 1/3's to fail. A group of people is saying an abstention doesn't remove from the 2/3 and a group is saying it does and it's just causing drama.

An abstention should take away from the 2/3's and 1/3's reason being 2/3's or 1/3's are of the congressman/woman expected to vote, an abstention is like not voting so if a congressman/woman aren't gonna vote they shouldn't be counted towards the 2/3's. If it isn't removed from the 2/3's or 1/3's then voting may not ever end. If there are 5 abstains, 8 aye's, 5 nay's, then voting is deadlocked because abstentions aren't being removed meaning without this our process and progress can be slowed down.

Calvin Romero.
