One is at a funeral

Do you know how this works? Its not simple majority wins. You have to reach half of the congressional members plus one. If both sodes failt to hit that number then nobody wins. And you have to revote. Could take hours or could take days. Maybe even weeks.

Half +1 is a simple majority. The total members includes all members present and casting a vote for a candidate.
