How many yes votes are needed in the U.S. Senate vote on the present immigration bill now under considerartion

Answer 1

Majority....Bush (He fully supports this trash bill) is not going to veto this bill so they do not need 2/3.

The bill as it stands when it passes the Senate will have to go the the house...and there it will go through alot of changes if it is going to pass the House...so it will again come back to the Senate. It's going to be a long time before this bill is law, if it ever is law. In the meantime though it will destroy men like McCain and any chance he has for the nomination, and will probably mean losing the seats of many Republicans that support this bill (and rightly so).

Answer 2

A majority. However it needs 60 votes to get 'cloture' to avoid a fillibuster by the other 40.

I have no idea why the others are bothering to discuss what it would take to override a veto. If there were ever a President ready to sign anything whatsomever sent to him on a particular bill, Bush is that president and this is the bill.

Answer 3

Probably about 49 or 50 since the people running for president never vote. They only need a majority. The president likes this bill so there is no veto threat.

Answer 4

Majority unles the president vetoes then 2/3 agreement

Answer 5

Majority vote... or 2/3 vote if President Bush vetoes it.
