Republicans! They are pretty much hilarious. Wait, we may actually be voting for our own shenanigans?
This one requires a bit of explanation:
In an attempt to highlight deep divides in the Republican caucus. Dems switched their votes -- from "no" to "present."
Panic ensued. In the House, legislation passes by a simple majority of members voting. The Dems took themselves out of the equation, leaving Republicans to decide whether the House should adopt the more-conservative RSC budget instead of the one authored by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan. As Dems flipped to present, Republicans realized that a majority of their members had indeed gone on the record in support of the RSC plan -- and if the vote closed, it would pass.
